[QUOTE="pi3141, post: 1183533, member: 122104"] Trying to get Freesat working with Hauppage Nova S2. Its proving to be the typical nightmare associated with this sort of project. I have previously had MP 1.0 or something running on Windows XP with Freesat and Freeview side by side working perfectly. I know how much of a nightmare it can be setting this up, but I also know how to set it up. I know BBC do something odd with their Freesat channels in order to comply with Sky platform - I guess this is where the problems arise as my Satellite card works perfectly in every respect except 'Freesat' I remember we used to have to scan with a specific frequency to get BBC One HD but generally this satellite card worked fine with Mediaportal. I use MPExtended and can stream TV to my phone and I have another PC client which it streams (Terrestrial) to it, so I am no newby but this issue is doing my head in. So I now have Windows 7 and I tried installing DJBlu's MP version 'MediaPortalSetup_1.12.0_2015-11-06-16-4' This has Sky epg grabber preinstalled. I have also installed the Freesat EPG grabber and confirmed the CustomEPGgrabber.dll is in my TV server. I have followed the instructions from DJBlu and asnother comprehensive thread. My problem is, whenever I try and grab epg data I get 'No Signal' I have the Allow preload setting set. Now it is not working at all, nothing happens just locks my system when I try and grab. I can scan Astra and I end up with a load of channels - usually 390 - 400 all either Sky encrypted or Unknown 01AD or something similar. The only channel that works is Channel 4 HD - No other channels are viewable, always get error saying no tuner available. Thing is, DJBlu's thread says - DJBlu's Custom Sky Data Grabber for MP1.9 onwards - for version 1.9 Onwards. But nowhere on that page is a link to version 1.9 only versions 1.10 & 1.11. It says 'Freesat Scanning fixed' but it does not work on my system at all Do I need to upgrade to version 1.9 to get this working or should version 1.2 with Sky preinstalled work, if so, How? I've have methodically tried the instructions of starting a scan and stopping then trying epg grabber (no signal) in one of the screens I can see my Hauppage card is idling and then periodically 'grabbing' but still not freesat channels appear anywhere, obnly sky channels all unwatchable. No EPG. How come this worked perfectly before but now it doesn't, Anyone any suggestions - can you give me a link to DJBlu's Version 1.9 with grabber preinstalled? Step by step instructions for Hauppage. I read somewhere there was a known bug with Hauppage DVB-S2 card and EPG grabber and to select Diseq Simple A - tried that but didn't work I feel like I have tried all the advice on the various threads because the info seems spread out over lots of threads.[DOUBLEPOST=1462551954][/DOUBLEPOST]Sorry, also got the Freesat info ticked in the grab epg under Radio EPG which seems to be polling, also tried scanning individual transponders with info from lyngsat after clearing all TV channels. How else can I delete Database, seen that mentioned but not how to do it - other than command line, lost that thread can't find that info now. CD to program files and heal database.
