UK sudbury freeview transmitter .frq file

[michaeldjcox]

I don't suppose anyone has a current one of these they could post please?

ITV2 seems to have dropped off the map and I cannot find out why?

I'm possibly missing a few new channels too.

Much obliged...

I assumed you've tried a rescan? If not, back up your FRQ file, detach the tuner from the lineup, scan, check the entries in your new FRQ file, merge the two, then re-attach your lineup...

HI,

I did that - thanks

I now have a new frq file.

However, I prefer to amend my existing files rather than take the new one.

So I shut everything down and restored my old ones with a few tweaks.

But the channel setup, for both my tuners not just the one I removed from the line up, seems to have remembered channels that where in the scan but are not in my .frq files.

How to I get it back to how it was?

Did you use a lineup or just the on-air epg?

[michaeldjcox]

I'm using XMLTV for EPG.

I think I sussed it just now.

I just restored a sage.properties a made a copy of before the change and all is well.

Thanks for your help.

I cannot get the scan to find this channel .

But I know its there!

I have a similar problem with Sky3 but I know the program id and frequency and putting in the .frq file gives me reception.

For channel "Dave" I have no idea of the program id

Anybody there on sudbury can tell me?

[rickgillyon]

There are settings in your PreDefined FRQ file that can be tweaked to improve scanning. Probably best to raise a support request with Sage and Qian will take you through it...

[michaeldjcox]

OK.

Thanks again.

Well I went about this a slightly different way.

I got:

http://www.coolstf.com/tsreader/

I analysed the transport stream.

Knowing the frequency I was able to get the list of PIDs and find the correct one for the missing channel.

I updated my .frq files and closed down tsreader and for good measure restarted the PC.

However, I still get "No signal" even though tsreader shows images from the channel.

Does sage have some signal strength or other threshold below which it will refuse to tune to a channel?
