Freesat EPG

[stuboy]

Hi I have been looking for a definitive guide on how to get my freesat epg working on my HTPC, alas so far i have failed to get it to work.

I used to have it working on my other pc but that was a couple of years ago.

 

There is a freesat entry in the EPG option page what else is needed?

Could someone guide me through the necessary steps please?

 

Regards

Stuart

1 In Options/EPG make sure that "ReceiveFreesat EPG" is ticked

2 In Options/EPG/SieFern/MHW make sure that you add the following transponder: 11428 h FREESAT

 

Should work

freesat.t1 and freesat.t2 are not used any more by the DVBViewer. The Huffman.dll is the replacement for them.

There also is an EPG channel on 11778.00 V ; actually there is nothing on 11428 now, that's what kingofsat tells me

There are lots of streams on 11778V listed as IEPG data in transedit's analyzer. But this transponder does not update the freesat EPG in the DVBViewer.

..not true! Don't trust unreliable sources

Delete the epg.dat and then tune to Fashion One on 11428H. The freesat epg will fill within seconds.. ..normal freesat transponders also carry this information, though at a much lower rate. Additionally standard DVB epg is sent, but it contains current and next events only.

I have a daily task set to tune for a few minutes to "Freesat Info" channel on 11427H. This keeps the EPG up to date.
