EPG Digital Music Stations

[drmuffin]

Just a question: is there an epg for digital music stations?

None that I've ever seen.

How digital clear QAM radio varies by cableco. Mine are in the guide but there is no show information. The entries look like this.

Code:

<channel id="28460019">
    <display-name>GXY3</display-name>
    <display-name>726</display-name>
    <display-name>726 GXY3</display-name>
    <display-name>Adult Alternative</display-name>
    <display-name>726 Adult Alternative</display-name>
    <display-name>(GXY3) Adult Alternative</display-name>
    <display-name>726 (GXY3) Adult Alternative</display-name>
  </channel>
...
  <channel id="28456946">
    <display-name>CFNY</display-name>
    <display-name>934</display-name>
    <display-name>934 CFNY</display-name>
    <display-name>CFNY FM Radio</display-name>
    <display-name>934 CFNY FM Radio</display-name>
    <display-name>(CFNY) CFNY FM Radio</display-name>
    <display-name>934 (CFNY) CFNY FM Radio</display-name>
  </channel>

However mine aren't scannable because they don't have a video PID so I have to add them manually. The Now Playing text info is probably through another PID I just end up listening to AC3 audio in a .ts file.

Some cableco's might broadcast music using both a/v PID's I've seen scans on silicon dust like that. These could be in some EPG.

I gave an example here http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=34403&page=2 I assume with a manual add and a 0 PID you'd get the same thing even if video is being broadcast.
