Absence of MaoriTV in on air guide
Hi all

Since 6:30 yesterday morning MaoriTV guide data seems to have
disappeared from the EPG.(I get the guide data over the air)

I just have 'unknown' showing for the time from then till now.

I can still tune the channel and manually schedule recordings.

They haven't changed the channel ID ,have they?

Cheers

Paul

Same problem here using tvheadend.

Have they maybe added the macron to Maori in the channel name?

Yep, same here (Wharite, Manawatu).

Haven't had a chance to look into it yet.

Maori Television and Te Reo have moved to a new fifth mux on 610000 Hz
and are now broadcast in HD. The old SD channels are still being
broadcast for a while to allow people to change over, but will stop at
some point. They have lost their channel names and will no longer
show up in a scan for named channels. Here is a scan I did shortly
after the change a few days ago:

In the process, it seems that the name of Maori Television has had the
macron on the a added to it, as I was not getting a match with the
name in my mhegepgsnoop.py channel map file until I added the macron,
and that was causing the data not to be matched to the xmltvid. When
I let mhegepgsnoop.py do automatic matching of channel names, it
correctly matched the new Maori Television name to the xmltvid it
found in the MythTV database. Unfortunately, it does not match the
new TVNZ names to my old names for them, so I do need to use a channel
map file still.

Since it is not possible to send the correct UTF-8 macron-a character
in an email, I have put a copy of my new channel map file on my web
server so that it can be downloaded. Then the name can be cut and
pasted correctly into your own channel map file using a UTF-8 capable
editor (such as nano):

Hmmm. I already did a rescan a few weeks ago and got Maori TV in HD, so
it's odd it's lost the EPG data just a day or two ago. Will try another
rescan later this evening.
Re: Absence of MaoriTV in on air guide [ In reply to ]
Thanks for that.

I've loaded up the new mux and all is well.

Cheers!
