My turn to apologise - my email client decided to put your reply into my junk folder and it was only by random chance that I just noticed it.

It's only HD channels that are affected. My understanding is that this means they are T2. The Edit UI for the HD mux in DVB Inputs -> Muxes lists the "Delivery system" as T2.

> Do you have your 'OTA UK: Freeview' grabber enabled?

I have 2 enabled: "OTA UK: Freeview" and "OTA EIT: EPG Grabber".

In DVB Inputs -> Muxes, I currently have most muxes set to "EIT: EPG Grabber", but the HD mux is set to "UK: Freeview". I think it was originally "EIT: EPG Grabber" like the others, but I probably changed it during my first round of trying to solve this.

Searching for one of the channels that has both SD and HD variants, I can see:

Channel 4, standard definition

Same language marker, but the tag is much shorter and looks like nonsense.

That's not nonsense, that's Huffman compression.

For Freeview HD channels the title and subtitle character strings are compressed using Huffman coding to save bandwidth (there are also commercial reasons). The '1F' byte at the start of the string marks it as compressed. Now TVH is able to decompress Huffman strings so the question is why isn't it working?

Do you have the EPG grabbers set to their default priorities - EIT EPG Grabber at 1 and UK Freeview at 7? Also have you set UK Freeview as the default grabber for ALL Freeview muxes?

Makes sense.

Freeview was set to 5, but I've now changed it to 7.

All of the SD muxes were set to EIT. Only the HD one was set to Freeview. I've now set them all to Freeview and manually triggered a grab.

The grab "completes" almost instantaneously though, with the following trace output:

Hmmm running out of ideas...

For your Freeview Muxes, you have "EPG Module ID" set to "UK: Freeview". Do you also have "EPG Scan" set to "Manual"?

The muxes not only transmit EPG for their own channels, each one also transmits, on a slow loop, EPG for all the other channels on the network. Hence all muxes should be set the same.

DeltaMikeCharlie

I've run out of ideas, sorry. I only have access to DVB-T(1) services. Also, my testing/development system is currently not functioning.

From what I have read, the '0x1F' at the start of the tag text means that the data is encoded using the 'encoding_type_id' and the following '0x01' means that the encoding type is 1 of the 4 encoding methods that have been allocated to the BBC.

If you read along 8 bytes, you get to '0x62' (dec 98) and then another '0x1F'. This one is followed by a '0x02', also allocated to the BBC.

Apparently, the BBC 'encode' their EPG data, but not the actual programme content, for their DVB-T2 services. I have only ever seen this mechanism used to select a character set, not to encrypt data.

Hmm, I hadn't appreciated the significance of the "EPG Scan" setting. They were all set to "Enable (auto)". When set to auto, does that mean the selected "EPG Module ID" is ignored?

I tried all set to "Manual", with all module IDs set to "UK: Freeview' and Status -> Subscriptions had a row for epggrab that went from Testing to Bad (and then stuck there, needing a service stop / start to clear it).

I then tried all still set to "Manual", with module IDs set to "EIT: EPG Grabber" (as that's what Ithought was being used, prior to the manual/auto revelation above) with the same "Bad" result.

Rather than leave the system with no EPG at all, I set everything back to auto again, expecting to only get the SD info back, but now suddenly my HD channels have EPG too! I believe I've put everything back exactly as it was just 12 hours ago, but something somewhere must be different. If "Enable (auto)" does mean that the selected "EPG Module ID" is ignored, than all I have done is switch every mux from auto to manual and back to auto.

You also played around with the priority of the EPG grabbers. Remember the higher the number the higher the priority.

davep

The help page for the Muxes screen does mention that the 'EPG Scan' field must be set to manual if using the 'EPG Module ID'.

I don't understand what's happening but I'm pleased that you now have your EPG working!

True, but changing a 5 to a 7 when the only other grabber was a 1 doesn't feel like it would change which grabber was used.

Me too! Thanks for the suggestions.

I have been dealing with this issue since one year ago and here’s the trace log for tbl-eit and it indeed showed the correct EPG info:

This issue is on my two x86 PCs running Ubuntu and it’s only on TVH 4.3 - it works well on TVH 4.2.

And it also works on my Android ARM set box running TVH 4.3.

Still don’t know how to resolve it apart from rolling back to 4.2.

What Android ARM set top box are you using TVH 4.3 on.

Sorry for having very little knowledge about that because that my friend built that set top box with an ARM demo board.

I don’t know if this is helpful but here’s from toggle details:

Kind of. Does it have onboard DVBS and/ or DVBT tuner built in or some form of DVB dongle attached.

It’s connected to two USB DVB-T2 dongles.
