Hope Someone can Help

[ACTCMS]

Have a look at the "Known Issues / Limitations" section here. The recent changes to the NIT info are causing this problem (which is also affecting some older STBs). I'm sure Brian will have a new version out very soon.

[bgowland]

As Alex says - this will be caused by the changes at the beginning of the month to the service information broadcast in Scottish and Borders regions.

I have a fix in the version I'm working on - I'll upload this to the wiki in the next day or so.

Cheers,
Brian

Yep - they did your area on the 15th July. Do you have a Freeview STB? Is it still working? If you haven't done a channel scan on your STB or similar digital boxes recently, I'd advise you DON'T DO IT. Read the DigitalSpy forums to see how many people have found their digital equipment just became obsolete.

My bad on the plugin and I'd hoped to have an uploaded fix by now. Work and sleep keep getting in the way - sorry. Coming soon folks.

v1.3.3133.33426 OK!
Great job

Do you have a Freeview STB?

No.
Freeview Teletext next then?

[bgowland]

v1.3.3133.33426 OK!
Great job

Thanks - enjoy!

Freeview Teletext next then?

I'm not sure I'd know how to start - I know how to do AV stuff but Teletext is a whole different ball game.
