Should do. If not then I'll try and dig the source for 1.0 and mod it.

it anyone having problems with ITV HD? tvserver won't scan the tp. using latest tswriter.
ok it is scanning now but i am just getting a black screen. is it working for anyone else
actually I didn't realise ITVHD only works with the 1.0 version. working fine now.
it won't scan intermittently though. what signal are people getting on the channel?
All bskyb channels are 80-90% ITVHD is only 50%?
DJblu there was another TSwriter change with the new SVN. the new SVN is much more stable than the old one

There is a problem with the Tswriter.ax file in the current snv, does it meen its been changed? Do we need a new Tswriter.ax file from you DJBlu?
Kind regards.

If there is a problem in the new SVN then I am not going to update it. I'll wait till they fix it as I will get asked in here why is this one not working.
I have seen the changes that have been made and they are driver issues on certain cards. I am following the SVN. If and when its repaired I'll update the TSWriter.

what signal do you get with ITV HD? Mine worked for a few Min's but then I couldn't even scan the transponder. all other 28.2e channels where working fine. I have a feeling it is a problem with my dish.
I noticed ITV HD is not on 28.2 it is 28.5 I have a torroidial dish so I think the slight separation might be exaggerated by the dish.
PS Dman since you use this what is the likly hood of seeing this in an SVN soon? 1.01 might be a bit too soon I suppose.

Hi all,
I think I have had a little breakthrough with this.
I am now able to get the groupings as per the sky box with all the tuning details(with some help from kingofsat). I am writing a program at the minute that will grab the information from a ts file.
I have got it to write an export file. I am just working on the Network Information Tables now. This will take a short while.
This will work for Sky UK and Italy.
The program will search for the Categories then you need to name them(This should only be once). It will then find all the tuning details and will get the PMT's from kingoftsat. I am trying to get intouch with them to see if they can make an ini file so it is easier.
This will then allow you to import the channels and you will have the full sky lineup. Oh and you will need to select your region in the UK too. Italy users don't.
Let me know if you would like anything added.
This will save searching having to search for 1100 channels.

Hi DJBlu
My system comprises of a dedicated server with four clients.
I bought my first DVB-S card (Hauppauge Nova-S plus) last weekend, previously I had been using two dual DVB-T cards (Hauppauge Nova-T). But there is lots of trees where I live and I could never get satisfactory reception using freeview on all channels. Just ordered two more DVB-S cards (Hauppauge Nova-S). My plan is to have the three DVB-S cards and one dual DVB-T card, this setup gives me an impressive channel line-up on freeview I get Dave, Virgin1, and UKTV History and also sky and freesat channels giving me a great choice. With my DVB-T setup the EPG grabber worked well and I guessed EPG grabbing on the DVB-S cards would work the same way until I spotted this post...... I am very impressed with all the work you have done developing this fix. My EPG is now populating correctly on freeview, freesat and sky channels.
When the EPG grabber is doing its stuff my server becomes unusable for timeshifting, I looked at my servers performance and have noted during EPG grabbing the CPU is mostly maxed out at 100% and all my 1GB of RAM is used, with the old grabber and my DVB-T cards I believe the server was usable and defiantly the RAM stayed below 512MB (I know this because that's all I had fitted at the time) My server is only a Athlon XP 2600+ which is adequate for timeshifting and recording four or more channels at once, reading previous posts I have seen reference to high CPU and RAM use with your patch, also I have noticed that after the EPG grabber has run some RAM is not released, I guess there is something in your code that maxes out the system during DVB-S EPG grabbing have you any idea's? It would be an excellent improvement if you could reduce CPU and RAM usage!
Does the TVWriter have all the DVB-S channel details within the code? Are the DVB-T channels in there also? What I am thinking is that all this channel information clutters up the TVWriter for none Freesat/Sky use!
The best long term solution is to get this functionality put into the main code how do we encourage the developers to put this code into the SNV,s for the next release?
I am sorry if my post appears critical of your work, I don't mean it that way I am trying to comment constructively, I really do appreciate the effort that you have put into this patch and thank you for sharing it with us, your dedication is appreciated.

Do you mean that we will now be able to browse groups/genres such as the sky uk epg?!
Or have I totally misunderstood??
Got any screenshots of what u mean mate?
