Also, I noticed that (like the EEPG plugin) Dominic's patch only looks for Freesat EIT data on PID 3842 (BAT & SDT data is on PID 3841). This is where the EPG data can be found on the majority of the transponders, broadcast at a symbol rate of 22.0 MSymb/s. However, on the Arqiva transponder (11.427 GHz [1]) the data is instead present on PID 3002 (BAT & SDT) and PID 3003 (EIT), and is transmitted at the much faster symbol rate of 27.5 MSymb/s. This should allow a full EPG to be retrieved far more quickly. RdioCaroline (one of the radio channels) is a channel you can tune your receiver to in order to lock on to this transponder. Ideally the patch could be updated to watch for both EIT PIDs, and (even more ideally) the VDR EPG idle scan code could be patched to immediately jump to Arqiva on S28.2E and retrieve the EPG rather than laboriously cycling through all the transponders. --- [1] http://www.satscan.net/transponder.php?SatelliteID=2&TransponderID=1328 _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
