I use DVBGuide to load the EPG data and it has worked flawlessly for several years, but since the 5th it has been failing with "NIT not found" and not writing out the XML file.

I use the command "DVBGuide -as -c11427830 -ph -mQPSK -s27500000 -y3002 -z3003 -g c:\ChannelLogos -o freesat_epg.xml"

Has something changed in Freesat that I need to amend the above ??

NPVR is 4.2.4

Thanks in advance,
Dave

I'm not sure if there is any other users here using DVBGuide.

Are you able to ask it's author?

What are the alternatives for Freesat in the UK ?

In the EPG pulldown I tried the Freesat entry and the default but neither gave a channel name map value and I was unable to use bulk map.

Yes - I tried that but I found that the "Bulk Remap" function wouldnt let be change all channels to Freesat and changing 100+ one at a time seemed too painfull.

How did you manage ??

Manually done as I couldn't get the bulk remap to work either when I tried it.
I also merged Freview & Freesat channels that were the same as I have dual Freesat & dual Freview tuners.

Not just me then ;-)

Where is the file holding the epg held ??? - I'll edit it and do a bulk replace and try the "Freesat" setting.

TIA

No one has mentioned it to me before, so I wasn't aware bulk map wasn't working for the Freesat option. I'm not in that part of the world so have been dependent on feedback of others for this feature. I'll make sure it's working in NextPVR v5 'automap' which is the equivalent function.

It's in the npvr.db3 database file, in the CHANNEL table. epg_mapping column.

DVBGuide is still working fine for me... got a full guide for the next week as per normal. No idea what settings it's using (but I'll double check when I get a chance); I doubt I've had to tweak it's batch file in years.

My settings are exactly the same, minus the logo stuff:

DVBGuide.exe -as -c11427830 -ph -mQPSK -s27500000 -y3002 -z3003 -o freesat-all.xml
