Re: Channels getting deleted on new scan

I was hoping it was something simple I could fix in the conf. I haven't worked on it or in linux in a long time and don't have the free time to figure it all out again. I'll have to look at this some other time. I am in the U.S. and these are ATA channels. They each have their own freq. and my guess is that they can use what ever numbers they want since they are on there own freq which they bought.

Haven't used the list in awhile I I think my first reply went to the wrong address. So redoing plus adding some info.

91 is 9.1 KGUN which is the local for ABC Broadcast Network A National Network. The other 9.x channels are assorted small stations. 581 or 58.1 is CW, Another big network. They are very different. 58.2 is some spanish channel using sub channel space.

And here is the channel.conf provided by ATSCEPG plugin:

...
:@91
KGUN-HD,KGUN-HD:189028615:M10:A:0:49=2:0;52=eng@106,53=spa@106:0:0:3:0:207:0
...
:@581
KWBA-HD,KWBA-HD:653028615:M10:A:0:49=2:0;52=eng@106,53=spa@106:0:0:3:0:207:0
...

The four rightmost numbers are SID:NID:TID:RID. These values are used to compose the "channel id". So these channels have exactly the same "id", and thus are "the same" to VDR. Since you are saying that these are in fact very different
channels (presumably with different EPG), it is just plain wrong to use the
same values for NID, TID and SID (RID=0 is irrelevant). The question is: who
does it wrong? If these values are broadcast as such in the SDT, it´s the
broadcaster´s fault. If they are correct (i.e. different for each channel)
in the SDT, it´s the ATSCEPG plugin´s fault.

To see which values are broadcast, you can set

static bool DebugSdt = true;

in sdt.c.
