No Channel Numbers

colin bailey

I have setup the XML internal grabber (radio times)

It seems to be bringing in some EPG data but all the channel numbers are showing - "not set"

Any ideas how I get the channel numbers to update ?

I didn't think channel numbers were actually carried in the XMLTV (RT) output. But its been so long since I checked.

Hi Adam

Thanks for taking the time to reply

I guess that's the reason I have no channel numbers, how would you recommend I get the channel numbers to match SKY UK

The main reason for using the radio times for my EPG was to get a regional view of my channel numbers

It seems a lot of work to add them manually

Personally I put all mine in manually, as I prefer my own numbering scheme. I did have some code that would take things from OpenTV (3.4 still has somewhat broken code for that, but master has it removed) but its incomplete.

But I would recommend that for EPG in general you use OpenTV (over the air) EPG rather than XMLTV!
