Unable to grab EPG from DVB-T2 channels in UK

Added by Frances Cook about 2 years ago

I just upgraded Tvheadend from 4.2.6 to 4.3-2040~g604d81a29, and its EIT Freeview EPG grabber failed to grab data from Freeview’s HD channels, which was transmitted in DVB-T2 - it always says timeout.

The grabber works in 4.2.6 but after upgrading to 4.3 it’s gone.

Also I tried to get back to 4.2.6 but when I was building it said ‘Unmet build dependencies: python’. I guess it was because the lack of python 2.7?

I'm not even maintaining what's already there. I'm using this open source project and if I find bugs or need features I implement them. That's what every user should do.

A simpler solution might be to use NFS (or some other similar technology, there are alternatives) to share sufficient disk space to the server that has the tuner. That way you'll have a single machine with all of TVH on it, and you can access the recordings wherever you want.
