The broadcaster here in Ireland recently changed the way the EPG on DTT is broadcast. Now there are many gaps in the EPG.
It seems they are using non-standard language descriptors, eg ENG instead of eng. Some receivers ignore this, and have no problem, however the vu+ is affected.
More info: "I've had a look at the current EIT stream and one I recorded a couple of months ago. Couple of differences, none of which will be helpful to you, probably:
The language setting, which is a string value, in the Short Event descriptor, has changed from "eng" to "ENG". This could be the problem. RTENL are again "making it up" as regards language codes. ISO 639-2 specifies language codes in lower case - "eng".
or
A new descriptor field (hex value 54) which is used to supply a Content Description (like news, music etc.) has been inserted before the existing descriptor field (hex value 4E) which is the Extended Event field which contains info about the programme which is the bit you seem to be missing.
The Extended Event field looks the same as the old one, except the language code again is "ENG" not "eng"!
Does this seem possible to fix?
Failing that, is there a way to turn off reception of DVB-EIT? Rytec has added the Irish DTT to his UK feeds, however it is overwritten by DVB-EIT.
