no DVB EPG - what to look for?

[happyhammer]

I've got a skystar 2 with BDA driver connected to ASTRA 1 19.2E here in Europe.
I get most channels scanned OK with GBPVR but the EPG is empty. I can see from other posts that this can bit a tricky problem needing 200MB ts files.

Rather than tying up SUB's time up for probably a stupid problem, i was wondering has anyone got DVB EPG on 19.2 working ok? and what can i do to debug myself?

I was gonna use TSReader but that don't work with the BDA driver.
i can use DVB dream to capture a ts stream and some MPEG analyser i just downloaded.

Since this is quite a common problem, could someone provide some tips on what to be looking for in the ts stream?

Its a bit hard to describe what to look for (and time consuming).

If you hit the 'update epg' button in the config app, then zip and attach the config.exe.log and config.exe-native.log, then I'll look for a couple of common things that can be wrong.

When I ask people for a transport stream file, its usually so I can run it through the debugger here with GB-PVR so I can work out what it doesnt like in the stream. Its not really the sort of thing you could do there.

I will connect to SKY and try with normal UK channels like BBC to see if that works. I'm presently connected to 19.2 and had to "play around" a little with the database to make things work nicely and want to eliminate that as a source of my problem.

log files attached if its something obvious.

thanks

I decided to re-install GBPVR as i was having a hard time getting the bda source saved. The card is coming up as a Technisat DVB-PC TV Star PCI (BDA), The default bda.ini has this as ATSC, i changed this to DVB-S. To reduce time, i changed the 282.ini file just to have one transponder, 10714 for some ITV channels.

I scanned amd mapped just one channel. I can see the video, but there is a message on the screen "no signal detected" even though the video is there. screnshot in the zip file.
No EPG info is displayed.

Maybe related to post #5 here: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=28663

Everything looks ok in the logs. It may just be that this satellite service does not uses the normal DVB EIT system for its listings. There are a few other EPG systems in use in Europe, none of which GB-PVR is compatible with.

I'd probably need that 200MB-ish transport stream file to look any closer at this one.
