Freeview, Freesat or something else? Is this a new Tvheadend setup or was it working before?

Hi, yes this is a new Tvheadend setup using Freeview Channels. when I first set up the Tvheadend I had EPG data but after a while it all vanished. I tried refreshing the page but that didn't do anything. I deleted my channels and used the wizard to set it all up again but I shouldn't have to do that all the time to get the EPG data.

Go to Configuration -> Channel/EPG -> EPG Grabber Modules and enable the "EIT DVB Grabber" and "UK: Freeview" modules. Leave the Priority numbers as-is.

Go to Configuration -> Channel/EPG -> EPG Grabber and check that the "Over-the-air CRON Multi-line" box has its default value of "4 2 * * *" which will trigger an EPG scan at 02:04 every day (assuming your Pi is powered up at that time!).

Go to Configuration -> Channel/EPG -> Channels and check that all of your channels have "Automatically map EPG source" ticked.

Go to Configuration -> DVB Inputs -> Muxes and check all muxes have either "Auto-detected" or "Enabled (auto)" in the "EPG Scan" column.
