I have a challenge with OTA EPG update being unreliable. (May be coincidence but seems to have got a lot worse since update to 3.3.8). It used to happen once every couple of weeks, now its happening every other day
Some days I get a full weeks EPG for all my mapped channels. Some days some of the channels have one or two listings and then nothing after that.
I have a selection of channels which are DVBT (FreeView) and some which are DVBS (Freesat) and some which are both.
If I look at the logs I might see 250 listings for say CBS Reality on one day then 20 the day afterwards (i.e. the listings are incomplete on the 2nd day).
On channels with both DVBT and DVBS I may see 120 listings for Channel 4 HD from DVBT but a different figure when it scans DVBS. If the first figure is 120 and the second one is say 6...I only see 6 listings on the listings page.
What's the logic that's applied to update the EPG when a channel exists in both DVBT and DVBS?
What would cause the channel listing from Freesat to be so erratic?
I don't think I have any signal strength / Quality issues on Freesat as recordings and the separate feed to the TV are all fine,
Log of typical EPG updates attached. (updates at 02:30)
