Freesat UK no EPG option

[Bobins]

Sub. We will need a Freesat option in V5 I suspect. For me I can only use the DVB setting if I've merged Freesat & Freeview channels ( i.e. when the same channel exists on both systems). In the case of our Channel4, it only broadcasts EPG data on DVB even though the channel exists on Freesat. There are of course many satellite channels that have no terrestrial equivalent.
The Freesat EPG frequency hasn't changes since V4.

Do you have at least one channel on 11428/H/27500? If so, then I suspect the DVB EPG will work (though it will have to make it's way through the various unnecessary frequencies).

Alternatively, if someone is able to update their database to set CHANNEL.epg_source to 'Freesat (UK)', then it should work, since Freesat stuff is all still there.

Ultimately I'll need one of your guys to let me know though, since I'm not in the UK and can't test it myself. Once I know what works and what doesn't, I can look at making it more straight forward for the user.

Hi Sub

The Freesat information channel appears to be on 11426 27500 (see below) and https://www.satellite-calculations.com/D....php?272/0

999, Freesat Info ,NO , 0x0C , Data broadcast , Clear , Freesat , 10528, 00059, 00059, 02315, 11426, H, 27500, 2/3, 0.35 , DVB-S, QPSK

I can not find another channel on this frequency, and this frequency does not appear after saving all channels after a scan .

I downloaded sqllite and amended the epg source to Freesat (UK)  and updated the EPG after removing the hundreds of surplus channels saved in the previous step.

The Freesat derived EPG appears to be working again.

Sub can you please add Freesat to the EPG pickbox or is this something that I can amend ??

Thanks  Maurice

Great. I've added it for the next build.
