correcting TV channel names when adding a second source

[idkpmiller]

I have an existing PBPVR150 which connects to my Sky NZ settop box.
I am adding a HVR3000 which will provide freeview NZ programming
This means I have many of the freeview channels twice, once from Sky and once through freeview.

So my question is where I have channel "TV1" on Sky (set via revens xmltvnz??) and freeviews name of "TV ONE" set via the discovered name over the DVB-S connection, how do I make them the same name so I only get one EPG entry and could watch/record same time?

I have had this wortking previously but cannot seem to get it working again

Thanks

I always recommend against using a mixture of xmltv and dvb epg if there is a channel overlap. Otherwise you'll get problems from the with slightly different channel names, slightly different show names/times/descriptions etc.

I use dvbtoxmltv to generate a xmltv file from my DVB-S capture source, then all of my capture sources use the xmltv plugin and that same file (even though they provide different subsets of the channels).

Thanks for the advice, I will give that a shot. only thought is that I only have a small subset of channels available through my DVB-S so I am thinking I will not be able to receive the encrypted sky channels EPG through the DVB-S card??

dvbtoxmltv will download the listings for all your sky and freeview channels, even if these are not channels in your capture source.

Thanks for the clarification, I will do this tonight

After you set it up, make sure you apply this updated version of the executable which has been updated to account for a change in the broadcast stream: http://forums.gbpvr.com/showpost.php?p=2...stcount=25

Hi Sub,

Everytime I run dvbtoxmltv.exe it gets as far as trying 12644 with a coutdown of 5 seconds then throws a windows error report.

Is there any way I can see what it might be choking on?

I have included the xml file as I have played with it, in case I made a mistake

Can you post the DvbtoXmltv.exe.log?

cheers

I cant see anything obvious in the logs, but can you tell me if you remove the 12644 line from the xml file, does it complete?
