Looks like shepherd works for me. (it took a while, so testing has been brief) <br>It seems I've got my EPG, I can schedule stuff, and I've even got shiney new channel icons.<br><br> OK - to summarize, I have pretty much worked around the symptoms of this problem with :-<br>
<br>1) Manually adding transports<br> <br>Go to myth-setup, channel editor, edit transports, add a new transport for each channel, and rescan. Details for SBS and nine are :-<br><br>SBS<br>Freq: 536625000<br>Bandwidth: 7Mhz<br>
Inversion: AUTO<br>
Mod: QAM-64<br>LD Code: None<br>HD Code: 2/3<br>Trans Mode: 8k<br>Guard: 1/8<br>Hierachy: None<br><br>Channel 9 (go gem and 9)<br>Freq 191625000<br>BW 7Mhz<br>Inversion Auto<br>Modulation QAM-64<br>LP Coderate 3/4<br>HP Coderate 3/4<br>
Trans 8K<br>Gaurd 1/16<br>Heirachy None<br><br>This gets me the channels - but I still cant change to them - I never get full lock.<br><br>2) enabling quick tuning<br> <br>OK, so now I can change to them but no EPG, so I dont know what I am watching, and cannot easily schedule recordings.<br>
<br>3) install shepherd. <br><br>Wow. I expected a 100 lines of perl. This sucker has more dependancies than myth ! Takes hours to run. In the end tho, it looks like I have my EPG.<br><br>Thanks to all.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I will have a look at shepherd tonight. It seems it is prolly worth having anyway.<br><br>I had however hoped to clearly identify what the problem is, and fix it, rather than just work around its symptoms - but I am certainly not going to get bloody minded about it. :)<br>

</div></div>Moral question: is it worth the effort of trying to fix the EIT system?<br>
The practical answer seems to be use Shepherd.<br>
