UK Freesat channel identification

OK I uploaded it to http://www.megaupload.com/?d=I2RTVGA0

Thanks, got it - and I was able to reproduce the problem here with this file.

Out of interest, since you have the same card, please let me know if you have any luck with Luxe HD since it doesn't work for me, but BBC HD and ITV HD work fine (so I am not that worried!)

Thanks again Neil for the info on the GBPVRPidGrab plugin - used it to create a new scan.cache file for my PC using a Compro S350 card. Several of the 'Freesat' channels have changed recently - most notably Film 4 and Film 4+1, thus I needed to scan for the new versions. Scan.cache attached for anyone else in UK (The HD channels inc. ITV HD at the end).
Can anyone confirm the new patch for 1.3.11 means that GBPVR can scan OK (using Hauppage cards)?

Pob,

Are you able to view the More4 channel that appeas in your scan? I get the same details in my scan file but More 4 gives me a blank screen & no audio. Strangely, More4+1 works fine.

All the other freesat channels work ok.

Yes just tried it and More4 works fine - but I did notice something for the first time - the FEC figures are all missing from the PID Grabber scan, there is a 0 in place of it;
T:10729,V,22000,0~TSID:2042~P:8340~V:2379~A:2380~PMT:268~TXT:2382~E:T~PCR:2311~N:>More4
Usually it would be;
T:10729,V,22000,56~TSID:2042~P:8340~V:2379~A:2380~PMT:268~TXT:2382~E:T~PCR:2311~N:>More4
But it still works - I even disconnected my RF aerial just to make sure I was watching it via sat and not on DVB-T...

I'm guessing the application you're using doesn't send the FEC value correctly to the plugin (I've yet to find one that does!).

You can force the FEC value to "56" (or whatever you want) for all your channels by using the "OverrideModulation" function in "gppvr_pidgrab.ini”. Yes I know FEC and modulation aren't the same thing.....

I'm also a bit puzzled by the "~E" in your .cache file - this indicates that your application thinks the channels require decryption. What application did you use?

Wierd. My scan cache is sligtly different.

For More4+1 (which works) I get:-
T:10714,H,22000,56~NID:32~ONID:2~TSID:2041~P:9230~V:2372~A:2373~L:eng~PMT:264~TXT:2375~PCR:2313~N:>More4 +1
T:10714,H,22000,56~NID:32~ONID:2~TSID:2041~P:9230~V:2372~A:2374~L:NAR~PMT:264~TXT:2375~PCR:2313~N:>More4 +1 (Audio #2)

for More4 (which doesn't work) I get:-
T:10729,V,22000,56~NID:32~ONID:2~TSID:2042~P:8340~V:2379~A:2380~L:eng~PMT:268~TXT:2382~PCR:2311~N:>More4
T:10729,V,22000,56~NID:32~ONID:2~TSID:2042~P:8340~V:2379~A:2381~L:NAR~PMT:268~TXT:2382~PCR:2311~N:>More4 (Audio #2)

Can't see anythig obvious.

I used DVBDream to scan with the pidgrabber plugin. As stated, the scan.cache works fine without the FEC numbers - I was just suprised as I thought they were needed!

Bobins, I can only say that More4 does work for me - in one post you said your entry for More4 is the same, and in another that it is different! If you copy the More4 entry from the attached scan.cache it should work:confused:

[Bobins]

Sorry if I was confusing. What I meant was the overall PIDs, frequency etc looked about right (similar to yours).

Copied your scan file contents to my machine..... More4+1 and other channels all work...... More 4 gives blank screen & no sound. It's the only channel which behaves this way.

I'll try Power Cinema tomorrow to see whether that works on More 4.

Thanks for your input.
