Freeview - scattered EPG.
 

SG6 area - Sandy Heath.

Went to check for anything worth recording and there were a lot of holes in
the EPG.

Switching off and back on again produced a small improvement - the holes
seemed to get worse the more I searched.

Some channels had big gaps in the EPG, but the listings were there for
several days time.

Seems a bit weird - has anyone else noticed anything?

Thanks.

Yes, this seems to be the case on my Goodmans Smart talk for quite a while
now. I'm going along the channels, for say 9pm and suddenly its for tuesday
the xx of June instead of today. Pull the plug wait half an hour and it may
or may not return to normal. Its as if the data is delivered like old
fashioned teletext where you only got the page you wanted when it came
around in the loop, but other stuff you did not want came first and as there
were gaps you just got thrown to the only data it had at that time. The
question is, why is this going on, and also who is responsible?

Yes, I've seen gaps in the EPG recently on both my DigitalStream PVR and
Sony TV. Channel4 quality control at its best, no doubt.

ATM - my Digifusion gets every channel except 24, while the Humax usually
gets them all.

When the signal deteriorates badly - the Digifusion is best for the low
channels and the Humax best for the high channels.

Takes a little time to load.

On Freesat my TV sometimes gets confused and reloads it.

I know that - I switched over to watch TV on the other PVR for half-hour to
see if it filled any of the gaps.

We have two TV sets, a Samsung and a Toshiba. The Samsung always has a
full EPG, never known it to be missing anything, but the Toshiba often
has great gaps, and the only way to fill them is to change to a
different MUX, and then go back, so that it reloads.

You're not the only one. We have a Panny in the lounge, a M&S in
the kitchen (only has now and next) and two LG's in bedrooms and
none of them miss a beat, but the Sharp in our bedroom is
absoultely useless. It either has nothing or most of what it does
have is wrong - radio progs in TV etc etc. I have tried a direct
feed (i.e. not through distribution,) have fitted a whole range
of attenuators, but none of them have any effect. We have a Sharp
in the caravan on the drive and even despite a crap signal from
the 'van aerial it too never misses a beat.

D'oh!
