Aha!
I think it is what I suspected. The EPG scanning is only taking place on the first sat card (adapter0 which is my DVB-S card), and adapter2 (DVB-T), its not using the adapter1 DVB-S2 card:

It should actually matter that only one adapter is used for EPG, this is in fact the intention (or at least it will be). Since Freesat/OpenTV info is on a specific mux (rather than spread around like EIT now/next). It's a waste to scan the same info on two adapters. But for now that will happen.

So I don't think its that. I need to get some debug out of the opentv feed to see if its even getting info on those channels (though it certainly should be!).

It's more likely that it's some cockup on the way I actually decide which internal service it should be added via.

I have an idea on this, with doing the xmltv.c digging I found the function service_is_primary_epg sometimes doesn't quite do what I expected, i.e. multiple adapters with differing lineups caused that function to reject some channel updates.

What I'm wondering is could this be doing a similar thing within the opentv module? i.e. it won't update the channel because it can see the channel in multiple adapters, but the channel is disabled on the first adapter it comes across, so therefore doesn't process EPG for that channel.
In my example, we'll stick with "Discovery Turbo"

This channel is present on my two DVB-S/2 cards, but I have only enabled it on adapter1 (adapter0 has the service disabled). So this will only tune on adapter1. I suspect that the service_is_primary_epg is returning false when it finds "Discovery Turbo" on the EPG scan, therefore doesn't update the EPG.

This is just my interpretation of code, so shoot me down, but I'll give it a go changing the code and see what happens, if nothing else to satisfy my curiosity.

OK, bit of progress.
My initial setup was:
adapter0 - DVB-S - Service disabled for Discovery Turbo
adapter1 - DVB-S2 - Service enabled for Discovery Turbo
adapter2 - DVB-T - Not able to receive

With the above, Discovery Turbo won't get EPG data.
However as soon as I enable the service on adapter0 and restart tvh, EPG data starts flooding in for Discovery Turbo. So at least now I know what causes this!

I've looked at the code a dozen times and I just can't see what's going wrong here. I think I need to do some experimentation.

Or at least stick some debug on you can look at.
