Config does not add E4 to scan-1.cache.

Why does GBPVR not get E4 when it does get Channel 4 and More 4?

Thanks

I too have noticed this, I had to install & map channels with 0.98.8 which finds E4 fine & then upgrade to latest version, a fresh install of 0.98.13 or 0.99.5 fails to pick up E4

GB-PVR will only add a channel that has a non zero video PID and at least one non zero audio PID.

<service>
<service_name>E4</service_name>
<TSID>8204</TSID>
<service_ID>8448</service_ID>
<service_type>1</service_type>
<pmt_PID>304</pmt_PID>
<video_PID>0</video_PID>
</service>

I'm not sure exactly why the PIDs are not listed for this channel though. Is this one of these channels that only transmits at certain times of day?

No E4 is a 24 hour Channel
