I live in Hong Kong, but can only understand English speaking channels.

I don't see any schedulesdirect plans for Asia, does anyone know of plans for this?

I use

- TVxB to grab one of my six channels using the print url at TVB Pearl [FTA] http://programme.tvb.com/print/pearl/2015-04-11); and
- DVB-TH for another FTA; and
- webgrabplus for 2 others (DW.de and setanta.com.asia); and
- I am currently lost on the last two as the sites moved to scripting rather than html format.

There are a lot of channels on http://nowtv.now.com/epg/ and http://epg.i-cable.com and http://tvbnetworkvision.com but I seem to very often be struggling to modify sites as they change.

Thanks

Just in case .... :-)

Can you let me know what sorts of content you're seeing on ATV World? There are a few callsigns in the database that have "ATV", so I can't say for sure if we have schedules for them.

It looks like we may have Pearl; does this look like something that's broadcast?

Hi

Sorry, I don't recognise that Program in ATV list. I searched for it, so that may not be the same feed.

ATV World:
The online EPG is here but I use the DVB feed instead, as per the post above.
http://www.hkatv.com/zh-hk/schedule/37/%...2015-04-11

If it is useful I attach a CSV exported from the EPG for 7049, the ATV EPG in the npvr.db3 file.


TVB Pearl:

I get the TVB Pearl EPG Feed online from here as I can post-process out all the stufff I don't need.
http://programme.tvb.com/pearl/

Actually I use the print version http://programme.tvb.com/print/pearl/2015-04-12/ as it still uses html which TVxB can strip, and I use this with BOTH TVxB post-processing and sed post-processing:

C:\Progra~1\GnuWin32\bin\sed -e "s/[\x00-\x1F\x7F-\xFF]//g" -e "s/()//g" C:\Utils\TVXB\XML\TVXB01XML

\xmltvHKBTVTemp.xml > C:\Utils\TVXB\XML\TVXB01XML\xmltvHKBTV.xml

strip out all the Chinese Characters.

Rather laborious all round though!

I attach the TVxB ini scripts and the resultant XML, HTH. You will see a lot of left-clip, right-clip, replace etc etc which keeps me busy as the advertisers are constantly changing.

No hurry on this for me though, I have it working, sort of.

Oh - just saw this thread, and as my current XMLTV supplier has just announced that the service will terminate end this year, I'm more than happy to see that there is an alternative here :-)

I'm in Denmark, using the largest Cable supplier (Yousee), the other two other major suppliers being Stofa and the DVB-T based network from Boxer (Boxer also services Sweden).

I'd be happy to test and also post results in relevant TV forums in Denmark.

How can I contribute?

[rkulagow]

If you can send me the raw channel dump as explained up thread (raw meaning that you haven't performed a channel remapping) and send me a Private Message with your postal code I can see if we already have your lineup available.

[rkulagow]

Whoops! By up thread I meant here:

Hi.

Thanks for looking into this

This includes a lot of optional/extra choice encrypted channels as well.

Please let me know if you need anything else...

[rkulagow]

Some of the channel numbers seem "high" - 24Nord is on channel 10103? Does that mean that you would enter 10103 on your remote control to go to that channel, or do you just select the channels from an EPG and channel numbers don't really matter.

Do those high channels indicate anything like optional / encrypted, etc?

Thanks.
