Well so far most sites are broken.
This one better work.

This might be a good place to start, but I've yet to experiment with it.

oh great, so no need to actually reinvent the wheel. Jaroslav Kysela: take a look at the psip module

One more for good measure. This is from a different local channel.

I sent an e-mail to Lauri to sign CLA and create the pull request so we can adapt his code.

After replying to you I found this issue, so I'm commenting here directly.

I created a pull request at https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend/pull/734

Can you see from this if I already signed the CLA - I think I did when I started working on this.

This question will show my lack of knowledge in this.
"_dvb_support: change GPS UTC offset to one less …_"
Is this syncing the time up and if so could you use a NTP server for time sync or the broadcast station's timecode which should be in the data stream.
Just curious how the time syncing is done.

Also, maybe look at myth's code. The EIT information parsed and then displayed within Kodi seems to be on time and accurate.
Sorry if I am being a pain. Just throwing ideas up in the air here.

you can let tvh sync your time from the networks if you have a computer without internet, but you must not.

G E, it seems Lauri has all you need, just be a little bit patient for getting his PR merged and then we see if anything needs to be fixed. Don't worry about accuracy, that's the smallest problem.

Oh I'm in no rush here just inquisitive on some of this and also just pulled some references that I used when I used to work in broadcast.

I merged with some fixes the code from Lauri, so we need testers now :-) v4.1-724-gc08bf56

Tested latest master (rev-list#7104).
The EPG is populated successfully, times are correct along with show names and descriptions.
Great work Lauri and perexg!

Thank you very much Gentleman on a job well done.
This is the fastest that I have ever seen a group of Devs go to work on a request for a upgrade or fix. Everything is looking great so far.

I have just one small suggestion; and this is probably due to my lack understanding of the program.
In the EPG panel view, second column over, "Progress", the title can be a bit confusing, well at least to me. I thought at first it was the progress of the download of EIT information and I discovered that is the percentage of the program time past.
My suggestion, the title of the second column be changed to Time, Time Past or change the count to show the time that is left and call it Time Left. If this can be done also replace the "%" with "m" with the math to show actual minutes.
Just a thought.

Again thanks for getting the OTA/EIT working.

Here is 7 ATSC recordings from all 7 channels in Edmonton Alberta Canada.

I'll install tvheaded and test what I can as well.

I only looked at atsc_1.ts but I think perhaps only the psip PID was recorded, not the raw mux with video and audio.

I'm not sure if this is an issue with EPG/EIT or due to our time change and the local stations.
We just switched our time here in the US one hr back DST (Daylight Savings Time). The system clock here is on the right time.
The EPG is apparently broken again according to the browser interface. It is only getting some of the stations information as it did earlier on as the EIT was being worked on. It was working up to a few days ago Wednesday,but this evening is the first time since the time change that I had a chance to check on it. I also just took an update for TVheadend earlier today.
v. 4.1-812~ge85a3c7
I did restart hts also tried clearing the information so hts can repopulate the information.

This issue was fixed in v4.1-822-g18d993f . Update.

I just took a upgrade from htc v4.1-822-g18d993f to v4.1-830~gaeb20ca
Still no go.
Damn DST.

Scratch last... It took a few minutes over an hour to populate all the channels.
Kodi EPG is now populated.
Thanks again

Just a little note: I fixed many things in v4.1-894-ga27b0af regarding the psip parser - events should be fetched much faster and the description text should be fetched, too (it didn't work for many events). v4.1-894-ga27b0af

Report issues to bug #3272 .

Just a little implemntation note: Only 5 PIDs are used to scan ATSC EIT/ETT tables now (the subscribed EIT/ETT tables are changed in a loop). It might fix some issues with tuners which are not capable to do hardware filtering of many PIDs.
