DVB magic numbers to channels anyone?

Post #1 of 3 (848 views)

Greetings

I'm trying to puzzle out the Sky channel names from the DVB magic numbers
- a bit tricky as there doesn't appear to be a one to one mapping of
channel numbers as selected on an STB to the 10xx.dbv.guide values that
pop out of dvb-grab

Any help appreciated (especially when for some channels, Sky themselves
don't publish a channel number, never mind some internal stream number).

Cheers

Are you looking for just xmlid->channel name or do you want channel
number as well? The channel names you can get from
http://hairy.geek.nz/epg/service-ids.txt, at least until David shifts
in a week or so.

Thats the one - I'd missed a few channel changes of over the last 6 months
or so. Did my poor little brain in...
