I think Emp-Centauri in Czechoslovakia might make 16 port uncommitted switches.

You presumably need something that supports custom commands to control the cascaded switches.

Well I'm amazed but you are correct. MediaPortal doesn't currently support the larger switches. My contact is working on the upgrade for this at the moment but don't hold your breath - releases are not very frequent.

I'll check - I know the guy here in New Zealand who is a member of the dev/testing team and does a lot of the MediaPortal DVB/Diseqc testing.

Does MediaPortal not work in the US? That has a huge following, lots of support and is actively developed. It will play almost any media you care to throw at it as well and has many useful plugins. And it's free and Open Source. And what about VLC (although that's more of a media converter).

Hi Everyone, Sorry I haven't visited this forum recently but I finished the ATSC implementatation with DR Cars and have been putting in other changes and testing for the next official release on Sourceforge which is hopefully now not too far away. enb141 - are you still interested?

I need to see what DirectShow components it is trying to use to tune. I think your comments about Win7 may be correct. Can you change the parameters using EPG Centre. On the Diagnostics tab put BDA in the Trace box, save the parameters and run it again. If you can post the log that would be...

Hi again, Having reread the part of the log you posted I may have been a little hasty. Is the Hauppauge a dual tuner with terrestrial ATSC and cable tuners on a single board? I see from the log that you did actually select terrestrial frequency 57000 to collect from. Steve

Hi, Thanks for taking the time to try it. You didn't do anything wrong. The version you have only supports terrestrial ATSC because that's what the guy I have been testing with has. That's why the log reports no valid tuner because it's looking for a ATSC terrestrial tuner. However if you...

EPG Collector is a free, open source EPG grabber for OTA EPG for Windows. It receives broadcast data and creates an xmltv compliant file that can be fed into many popular players (eg MediaPortal, WMC7, DVBViewer etc). It has around 2,000 users worldwide. I have recently enhanced it to...

With a great deal of help from DRCars the OTA EPG Grabber for ATSC PSIP data seems to be working. However it needs to be tested on different feeds as there are a number of options a broadcaster can choose so the testing so far has not exercised all the options. Normally the software is...

EPG Collector is now starting to work collecting terrestrial ATSC EPG data. With a great deal of assistance from DRCars it can successfully collect from the frequencies he has access to. However it needs to be validated against more frequencies as there are a number of options that...

Sub-channels aren't used in DVB so I haven't come across them anywhere else. DVBViewer may not need a sub-channel to tune either. I use my own media player that I wrote and to tune to a TV channel I just tune to the correct frequency and then set up the MPEG2 demux to use the correct video and...

I have the SDK for DVBViewer as I want to do a direct import from the Collector. The interface definitions for EPG data don't seem to have any fields for sub-channel.

The times wil be +13 because they are transmitted in GMT and the Collector adds on the local offset from the PC it is running on. I am on GMT +13 at the moment. When we get a collection to work on your machine it should read -6.

You may be right about the signal quality or the code may simply be checking it incorrectly or I haven't set the tuning parameters correctly. There is something you can try though. On the advanced tab tick the third misc option (use signal present...). This causes it to assume signal is ok if...

Hi, Glad you sorted the TSReader issue - those sort of problems can sometimes be difficult to track down. Not sure why I had FEC 3/4 but I've changed the config files to 2/3. They are only used when you set up the parameters. The collection itself uses the value from the parameter file which...

Thanks for the logs, I'll get onto them straight away today. The issues with TSReader are very strange. As I said before the install doesn't put anything on a machine other than what you see in the install directory. It doesn't change any registry settings, BDA settings, drivers etc so the...

Hi, Thanks for the links. I have all the protocol specs as published by ATSC and they are pretty easy to follow especially as far as PSIP is concerned. I have also found the Wiki cable broadcast frequencies. How do you want me to deliver the software to you? It's packaged up as an msi so...

An update for you. I have processed the dumps and can produce an xmltv file containg EPG for 4 stations (KETS-1 thru KETS-4). KETS-4 only has one entry which for some reason is dated last December. The other 3 stations have 12 hours of EPG for the 13th January. There is audio and parental...

Hi, What tuner and version of Windows do you use? Steve

Hi, I've done a quick analysis of the dumps and it looks like all the PSIP pid's/tables that I need are there so that's a great start. All I need to do now is write the code that analyses them!!!!. I should think it will take me 3-4 days. I'll be back in touch once I can process the dumps...

I thought he meant ATSC as well. That's what I have the documentation for. Can you upload that file to a file sharer somewhere and let me have the link and I'll take a look. I have my own analysis software which can show me the contents of any PID. Thanks for your help on this. Cheers Steve

I am the author of a popular, free, open source OTA EPG grabber for Windows named EPG Collector. I currently have around 1500 users in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and a few other places. Someone recently posted on the forum on Sourceforge asking if I intended to develop it for North...
