Using sub's 9-day patch I get absolutely no guide on 82 no matter what I do. I haven't had time to play with it lately but I am gonna revert back to the pre-patch version and live with the 48hour guide for now. I believe if you have any channels enabled from TP12341 on BEV82 you should get the 48 hour guide?

I think I read somewhere that each sat only provides guide info for its own channels (which kinda makes sense), but that would seem to indicate there is no 9-day guide for BEV 82 channels (all the HD channels) which I find hard to believe - so I am still confused. :confused:

That is weird, because I was getting the same thing as you, no data on 82 with Subs patch. Then I realized that I did not have any channels on TP12341 enabled, so I enabled 782 and updated the EPG and got data for 48 hours.

I read that as well about each channel having a guide. I agree with you that there has to be a 9 day guide on 82 because BEV has an HD PVR. I have been trying to get TS reader lite working so that I can look at the channels on 82 to see if there is a 9 day guide or not, but I can't seem to get it working. When I try to select my Twinhan 1027 it is not in the list of DVB-S cards.

Oh well I will try and find out more info on that! I am confused as well!

Yes, I don't have any TP12341 channels enabled from BEV 82, so that explains the complete lack of guide for me on 82. OK just found 781,782, and 860 belong to TP12341 on BEV82.

I seem to recall TS Reader does not support Twinhann BDA drivers - WDM drivers only... ?

The Bev 9 day guide is on Tp12224 on 91 (eg: channel 522-Hist). It contains 9 days of guide data for channels on both 91 and 82. There are no bell subscribers that have access to 82 that don't also have access to 91, so the full guide is on 91. All SIDs are unique over both sats, but some software filters out SIDs that belong to other sats; I'm not sure what gbpvr does.

You can export the full 9 day guide to xmltv using dvbdream or mt or other software with plugins.

You are right about the fact that everyone has access to 91, and it makes sense to have one 9 day guide on 91, but I think that, as it stands right now, GB-PVR is not able to pull the data off of 91 and match it up with 82. Sub just did a quick patch in order to make it some what work for us.

So now you should have at least a 48 hour guide for 82, better then nothing at all!

TS Reader seems to support the Twinhan 1020 witch I believe uses BDA drivers as well. I guess I don't need it any more if the 9 day guide for both 91 and 82 is on 91.

Yes, I can get 48-hr guide but I am going back to the xml based EPG for now because that way I get 7+ days.

I have a Twinhan 1020 and I think it will only work with TS reader using the WDM drivers (which is why I never used it because I only use BDA drivers now).

Wasn't sure if I should start a new thread, but this seems like the best place for my question.
Seeing as the guide data is on one transponder is there any way to change the way GB-PVR looks for guide data? I want to have it sit on the one transponder that has the data for a longer period of time without having to scan all the other transponders.

I will integrate something like this in the future. Its no possible at the moment though.

Thanks Sub. It must be a hard thing making the entire world happy.
I think I saw in one of the .ini files something about how long it sits on each transponder. If I set it to 5 minutes and then cancel the update once it's off the first transponder (the one with the guide data) will it roll everything into the guide or will it disregard the entire process?
