can't map new Virgin 1 channels

[keithm]

Virgin 1 on freeview went 24 hour on the 20th May and i can't get GBPVR to pick up the new channel frequency. I have updated to the latest version, re scanned channels but it picks up Vigin +1 on hennel 20 and still says fiver is channel 36 (it's now channel 30). What do i do!

Its probably not scanning the right frequency. Have you tried scanning 'all countries / all regions'?

Which transmitter ??

edit (that bloke is always one step ahead of the pack )

I've just run a scanchannelsbda and found virgin1 has moved from MuxD to MuxA
For me this is a much weaker signal right at the top of the band at 850MHz.
Virgin1+1 is where virgin1 was, on MuxD.
Why do they mess things aorund so? Do you know is virgin1+1 is 24hr as well?
It would take some load off my sky box tuner as I've kept virgin1 off the DVB-T tuners as it wasn't there 24hrs.

sub - I don't know if there is a way to have a channel that is part-time on one or more tuners (dvb-t, freeview) tuner and full-time on another (stb+pvr150), but keeping the same name in the EPG - I doubt it.

Edit: just spotted that virgin1+1 is only 18:00 to 06:00 (boo) http://www.freeview.co.uk/freeview/Chann.../Virgin1-1

I'd guess it would work (dependant on EPG source), but recording would be down to the order you've set up the tuners and which one happens to be available for a given recording, eg, if the EPG states something is on at 12:00 but the only tuner available to record it doesn't carry the channel at that time, then it'll not record what you expected. In the case of Virgin 1+1 you'd end up with something from "Yesterday" (the channel).

Here's my tuning info for the two channels, but this'll be specific to Angus, Scotland...

Code:

Scanning can be the achilles heel of GBPVR! I have all the latest patches, but if I try to scan 'All regions' after it gets to the first frequency with channels, it then skips through the rest and crashes at the last one - 57 I think.
However, scanning for my particular transmitter - Crystal Palace - it does find all the correct channels - but then cannot tune some of them either on the preview window or in PVRX2 itself.
What I have found is that the frequency is incorrect in the scan.cache.
For example, Dave ja vu is found by GBPVR and the scan.cache entry is;
T:C31,554000...etc
But another program finds it as;
T:C31,538000...etc
If the GBPVR scan.cache is edited, it then does work in preview and PVRX2.
Virgin 1 is found by a scan in GBPVR as;
T:C32,561834...etc
But it should be:
T:C32,562000...etc
Virgin 1+1 in GBPVR is found as;
T:C31,554000
But what works for me is:
T:C31,538000.
I assume this is linked to the .ini files for DVB-T? There are quite a few channels found on 554000, which will not work until edited to 538000. The ini for Crystal Palace (0126.ini) does not have a 538000 entry, I don't know if I should edit the ini or add extra lines to it...

I wonder what you have in configs "explicitly scan dvb-t offset frequencies" in the misc tab? mine is ticked and finds everything for me with the Belmont transmitter.

Just checked and mine is ticked also.. I will try it with it unchecked to see if that makes a difference...

Well, I completely removed GBPVR and reinstalled the latest version but it remembered the settings. So I removed the capture device then re added it. Now after a full scan I have virgin1 but no film 4!

I too can not scan all regions without causing the PC to crash.

I hope some one is reading this because this has become a major problem
