Bug #693
UK Digital Switchover
0%
Description
The hardcoded MUX details for UK DVB signals is now out of date due to UK digital switchover which has seen channels being moved between muxes and some new muxes introduced. I do not know all the details, but believe that they are published on the internet.
The impact is that "Add DVB by location" does not add all the muxes and hence there are channels missing. Adding the new muxes by hand works of course, but is reliant upon user knowledge.

Updated by Are the new muxes already available in an initial tuning file that is part of the dvb-apps project?
There are lots of uk-* initial tuning files. If these are correct then they can be included into the linux muxes file.

Updated by Hein.. the dvb-apps files are dated too. in particular the 682MHz Mux which carries BBC A channels is missing. I expected the "autodetect muxes" option of tvheadend to pick these up.. but it didnt so I added manually..
Further DSO changes will happen 21st September in my area..

Well, you can send an update to the linux media mailing list to update the initial tuning files there.
And if autodetect muxes did not pick up the other muxes then these are not transmitted in the NIT tables. You can use dvbsnoop or dvb inspector to analyse a mux dump to see what muxes are transmitted in the NIT tables.

Mux data is provided by linuxtv project which is then periodically imported. This should be reported there first and then here if we fail to update things.
