[RyVIX-Satemate UK] Rytec UK Sat/Virgin Quest HD issue

[mitchelln]

Hi.

I've got Rytec UK Sat/Virgin UK/Ireland FreeSat selected as my source in EPG-Importer.
Today in the EPG for Quest HD and Quest channels it says "Quest HD is no longer available in Freeview", but this is not the case for FreeSat, which I'm using. If I select the channel the programme plays and I've also checked availability on the FreeSat website.

What am I doing wrong? I have to confess I'm finding the EPG setup all very confusing. Is there a better EPG source I should be using?

Thanks

Okay, so I have switched to using CrossEPG with the OpenTV Sky UK Astra2 source. I cleared EPG cache and reloaded (as I was initially getting duplicates) and the Quest channels are now showing EPG info correctly.

I guess there's an error with the Rytec UK FreeSat XMLTV source incorrectly flagging the channels as unavailable.

I think he was fetching the data from a Terrestrial service website. He'll update it soon enough.

Do you know OpenViX enigma2 has OpenTV download built in? You don't have to use Cross unless for some reason you prefer it. The data is identical.

Purely down to me not being sure which is the best EPG to use!

Hmm, the only problem with using the OpenTV source is that my radio bouquet is now not getting any EPG data. Is there a way to get the radio channel information only from another source?
Thanks.

If you turn on the Freesat reader in the EPG settings, you will get the radio EPG. However, you may also get unintended information clashes on some tv channels where OpenTV and Freesat may update the EPG info at different times. It's a pain that CrossEPG and the OpenTV readers don't seem to be able to retrieve radio schedule data.

He has changed the grabbed data if you want to go back to Rytec.

Maybe we should ask @LraiZer to look into this.

Okay, thanks. I'll go back to the Rytec source and check

I'm pretty certain we decided there is no radio EPG in the Sky OpenTV EPG last time I brought this up.

Anyone got a real Sky box they can check with?

Oh yes, I remember now. Someone tested using their family member's one. I might be able to re-test in a few days. However, it is still on the stream.
