UK-Crystal Palace Updated Frequencies

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 19:32:59 +0000

I set up NextPVR last week because I was fed up with the terrible delay with internet streams of TV, which is most annoying during the World Cup and Euros. If you're watching iPlayer (or, god forbid, ITVX) when England are playing, you may as well give up on being surprised by anything because everyone in a bar or watching over satellite/aerial will be approximately 5 days ahead of you.

Now that I have set up nextpvr feeding into dispatcharr, I can watch with between 2-8 seconds of delay (depends on SD or HD)! Perhaps not quite enough for a penalty shootout, but lightyears better than any other internet option. I did find, however, that the included frequency file for my transmitting station - Crystal Palace - is out-of-date, so I thought I might share my updated file here for anyone who needs it (DVB-T2 channels don't work on the npvr included one or the newest one on linuxtv.org because the frequency is incorrect in both, for example).

That's it! Hope at least some people get some use out of this (maybe even for the Norway match in 90 mins)! Oh, and, thank you for this great piece of software - I finally managed to get a use out of my 12-year-old xbox tuner!

ADB for Mint

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 14:52:59 +0000

I switched my newer Dell laptop from Windows 11 to Mint 22 recently, and wanted a desktop app for ADB. I used to use adblink for Windows which worked fairly well but there was no option for Linux.

A brief search for an ADB gui for Linux revealed a program called AYA. Tried it out and was pleased with it. The program is a .Appimage which is like a Windows .exe. It's a standalone app so it works wherever you decide to put it. AYA has more features than adblink. I think it's easier to use as well.

Of course you can always use ADB from the terminal but this is easier and more fun IMO. Just thought I would share this for any Linux users out there.

Here is a screenshot of logcat with uidroid running

Update EPG Issue

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 15:42:05 +0000

Always before my nextPVR would auto update my EPG but recently I keep having to do it my self. What changed? After MUCH research I found the set update time to be the issue. Maybe it is me but I could not find anywhere as to whether the set time was A.M., P.M., or Military. THAT was the problem. There should be a notice by the set time box that states it is Military time. Once I figured that out and set the time to military time my issue was solved. Did I miss something? It cold have been so simple, but for me it wasn't. ~ So... My question is: Is there any way nextPVR can put "Military Time" printed next to that box? It shouldn't be that hard. ~ What do y'all think?

Nextpvr Settings Channels

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 22:49:41 +0000

Hello everyone

Not sure if this has been asked or where to find the info if possible.

I have added my iptv providers to nextpvr and selected the channels i would like.
The channel names have beggings like CA: USA: etc.

I.E
CA: A&E
CA DTOUR

Is there a way to remove these with in nextpvr and then sort the channels by name?

Thanks

Dave

Finally got my setup running smoothly!

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 09:23:21 +0000

I’ve been lurking around here for a while, reading everyone's tips, and I finally spent my weekend getting my NextPVR server exactly where I want it. I'm just a bit excited and felt like sharing the win!
I was struggling for ages with weird stuttering on my recordings. I thought it was my old PC acting up, but it turns out it was just my home network being messy. I moved the server under the stairs, plugged everything directly into a cheap unmanaged switch instead of using the built-in ports on my ISP router, and wow... what a difference.
The web interface is snappy, the recordings are clean, and my wife is finally happy that the TV actually works when she wants to watch her shows. It’s not a high-end rack build like some of yours, just an old Dell Optiplex and a couple of tuners, but it's doing the job perfectly.
Next step for me is to figure out a better way to organize my library (the metadata is a bit of a mess right now), but for today, I'm just going to enjoy some glitch-free TV.
Big thanks to everyone who posts guides here, they really helped a lot!
Cheers.
Chúc mừng!

Secure boot expiry June 2026

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 15:08:20 +0000

I just noted that my main Windows PC has a BIOS update and followed up to find out that my BIOS will need to be updated to run with Secure Boot after June 2026. I found this site pretty informative https://windowsforum.com/threads/secure-...in.397238/ so if you use Secure Boot you might to read it. The tl;dr version is trying running this in a powershell admin to see if it is True or False.

Code:
[System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Get-SecureBootUEFI db).bytes) -match 'Windows UEFI CA 2023'

False

I confirmed I had a failing string

Code:
[System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Get-SecureBootUEFI db).bytes) -match 'Microsoft Corporation UEFI CA 2011'

True

Newbie problem getting subtitles

Fri, 24 Oct 2025 23:06:25 +0000

I have NextPVR installed on a Win10 machine, using Kodi as client. Works fine (records per schedule, plays back as expected) except for one issue - we cannot get the closed-captions (AKA subtitles) to play. In Kodi, if I click on the subtitle icon, a window pops up showing that they are enabled but that it doesn't have the file... clicking to find the file reveals an icon of the show I'm watching but selecting it appears to load an "unknown" file. Worse, when I try to restart the playback, Kodi freezes and eventually I can get kicked back to the main screen or out the app altogether.

If I am watching the show live with either the browser client or the native client (can't remember which) I can get the subtitles but if it's playing a recorded show it's iffy.

Any suggestions welcome as my wife really needs the subtitles on many shows.

Newbie setup

Sat, 18 Oct 2025 22:10:33 +0000

I am new to NextPVR and trying to figure out how to show live TV on my TV. I used to use Windows Media Player, but I have a reformatted laptop that now has Windows 10 on it.

Can you tell me how to put it on my network and the TV to see the channels?

Thank you!

UK DVB-S Bouquets

Wed, 03 Sep 2025 14:47:46 +0000

I am looking at an alternate addon for scanning DVB-S in the UK for Astra 28.2 and I assume I need to support Freesat and Sky channel number but I have some questions.

- Do those of you who use DVB-S know how to use the tables here https://mizar.mythtv.org/wiki/DVB_UK
- Does anyone know what the G2 table is here https://www.satellite-calculations.com/D...Number.php
- For Freesat SD it doesn't look like any channels are regionalized, what is the purpose of using a bouquet for them in England (not in Scotland, Wales or NI)?

Is nVidia Shield Pro worth it?

Thu, 28 Aug 2025 14:47:47 +0000

I've been using a "no name" Android TV box for a couple of months with UI Client and it's okay and I'm quite happy with it. I've heard good things about the nVidia Shield Pro though and I'm tempted but I'm not sure if it's worth it. Any thoughts gratefully received.

Cheers,
Brian

DirecTV Streaming NextPVR & HDMI Encoders

Sat, 26 Jul 2025 20:30:33 +0000

I'm currently doing TiVO w/CableCARD & also Channels DVR w/CableCARD. I'm looking to replace Xfinity with DirecTV Streaming and it was suggested to me that I check here for assistance. I have multiple Osprey and considered using 4 of those w/HDMI Encoder for recording and Channels DVR. A user there mentioned that he felt NextPVR might be an easier to manage and maintain operation. I certainly don't know and just poking around I didn't find anything that appeared to be what I was told I'd find.

I'm certainly interested and I would prefer I believe DirecTV Streaming for a source if possible.

I'm certainly interested in any other options.

I'm interested in being rid of my CableCARD devices and moving to streaming that would give me 5.1 audio, recording w/com-skip etc.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

UK XMLTV recommendations?

Sat, 19 Apr 2025 16:15:48 +0000

I've been out of the loop for a long time but I'm coming back to npvr.

What's a good xmltv grabber to use for UK Freeview? I used Alan Birtles' Radio Times grabber in the past but that was on Windows and my new server is running linux.

Any recommendations?

Cheers,
Brian
