Sorry guys, I'm not sure why but I don't seem to be getting emails notifying me of replies, I'll try look at my settings, see what I've not got set properly.
Chris G I actually found myself turning this setting off (I'm sure it was on by default) because it kept adding a large number of ancient muxes that just fail to scan and I ended up having to delete them again each time it was attempting a rescan. For me I keep ending up with two muxes in particular that just don't end up being picked up so I had to look up the frequencies and other settings to figure out how to add them.
Something I don't understand though, why do I have to select muxes at all? When I set up any new Freeview TV (the name of the terrestrial digital broadcast service here) I just select scan and it scans everything and figures out whether it's DVB-T/DVB-T2 etc on the fly. I do think I've been asked to provide postcodes sometimes, but if I'm using an older TV it presumably doesn't have the scan tables built in and relied upon as they wouldn't be getting updated, so I assume postcode entry is more for internet connected stuff lookup stuff?
I tried using the --Generic--: auto-Default
setting assuming this would do much the same, but if I recall correctly, the result was that I ended up with even less successful muxes, including no HD channels being picked up. It was a while ago, I forget exactly what was wrong with the result.
I also don't seem to be able to map everything to channels. It keeps marking services as "Ignored". These are services I do in fact find don't seem to play (though often available on other TVs), perhaps being offline at the time. But I've not go the Check availability
checkbox enabled.
And some services keep being hidden behind this Hide Parent Disabled
thing, which I don't understand the meaning of. What is a service's "Parent" and why would it be disabled? :/
DeltaMikeCharlie That's interesting that, I see they've said they forked it because the original LinuxTV repo wasn't updated quickly enough, but it seems clear that the TVHeadend fork is now the guiltier party for this, with the last update to the scan table being over a year ago. If that really is the only reason for using a fork, then I really do think that PR should be accepted.
