Work in progress: I am reworking this page big style - it has become unwieldy and woefully out of date.  
+
Prior version of this page with out of date but potentially useful scripts: [https://www.mythtv.org/wiki?title=UK_Channel_Assignments&oldid=64773 UK Channel Assignments page version 64773]
−
Please allow me a couple of days to fix it up.  I will put the scripts here on some subpages as a short term measure until their usefulness can be established.

== Introduction ==
 +
Channel scans generally result in lists that are unrecognisable by the general public, which probably includes your significant other.  In the UK Freeview, Freesat, Sky etc have fairly well defined channel lists.  The goal of this article is to provide strategies, scripts and ideas on how to build an effective channel list in the UK.  First we present getting the standard EPG lists which a novice will probably want to start with and then move on to getting more stuff.
  
−
== Introduction ==
+
The general strategy used is to move all the channels found in a scan to a very high number starting at 100,000 and setting them all invisible.  Then we run through the list and depending on attributes like name or serviceid move the channel into place with a normal channum in our EPG and set it visible.

The goal of this article is to provide strategies, scripts and ideas on how to build an effective channel list in the UK.  Any scripts provided here should either provide an EPG that conforms to a generally available one or should be capable of being added to one or more of them as an aside.  If you do provide a script with changeable content then please keep it up to date.
+
== General script usage ==
 +
The scripts provided here are SQL scripts which can be ''played'' into the database through the command line.  Once you have done a channel scan then shutdown the mythtv backend.  Backup the database first and then run the desired script against the database.  These scripts can also be copy and pasted directly into the MySQL/MariaDB command line client.
  
−
== SQL commands ==
+
This is an example of connecting to the mythconverg database as the mythtv user.  You will be prompted for a password.  You could instead use the root account or any other account with the rights to the database..
−
Hide all channels where there isn't any guide data available.
 
−
UPDATE channel SET visible=0 WHERE channel.chanid NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT(chanid) FROM program);
 
  
−
Mark no comm-flagging on BBC channels
+
$ mysql -u mythtv -p --database mythconverg < sql_script.sql
−
UPDATE channel set commmethod=-2 WHERE name LIKE '%BBC%' OR name = 'CBeebies';

Prior version of this page with out of date but potentially useful scripts: UK Channel Assignments page version 64773

Introduction

Channel scans generally result in lists that are unrecognisable by the general public, which probably includes your significant other. In the UK Freeview, Freesat, Sky etc have fairly well defined channel lists. The goal of this article is to provide strategies, scripts and ideas on how to build an effective channel list in the UK. First we present getting the standard EPG lists which a novice will probably want to start with and then move on to getting more stuff.

The general strategy used is to move all the channels found in a scan to a very high number starting at 100,000 and setting them all invisible. Then we run through the list and depending on attributes like name or serviceid move the channel into place with a normal channum in our EPG and set it visible.

General script usage

The scripts provided here are SQL scripts which can be played into the database through the command line. Once you have done a channel scan then shutdown the mythtv backend. Backup the database first and then run the desired script against the database. These scripts can also be copy and pasted directly into the MySQL/MariaDB command line client.

This is an example of connecting to the mythconverg database as the mythtv user. You will be prompted for a password. You could instead use the root account or any other account with the rights to the database.. 

$ mysql -u mythtv -p --database mythconverg < sql_script.sql

Status as of 1 Sep 2019

  • "Other" channels found by call sign - checked against DB after a scan, needs EPG verification
    • I've got two CBS channels showing no guide data
  • BBC regions completed
  • ITV regions OK but need to provide data for non "West" regions!
  • Channel 4 has several sids
  • Needs final double check and then moving to maintenance

Scan parameters:

Parameter DVBS DVBS2
Frequency 10,714,000 10,847,000
Polarity Horizontal Vertical
Symbol Rate 22,000,000 23,000,000
Mod Sys DVB-S DVB-S2
FEC 5/6 3/4
Modulation QPSK 8PSK
Inversion Auto Auto
Rolloff 0.35 0.35

Not all channels transmit 24x7 so depending on when you scan, you may miss say BBC Four. Scan after 2100 for best results - this is not a hard and fast rule!

-- Some channels do not transmit 24x7 eg BBC Four and may not appear in a scan
-- see the Freesat channel list for times of availability
-- Callsigns and names may differ so check your channels table for what was actually scanned
--
-- Find some entries in the channel table:
-- SELECT channum,callsign,name,mplexid,serviceid FROM channel WHERE name LIKE '%BBC%';
-- Show all entries in the table, in numeric order:
-- SELECT channum,callsign,name,mplexid,serviceid FROM channel ORDER BY CAST(channum AS unsigned);
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Todo:
-- Verify from "Radio" section onwards against the DB
-- Make more use of serviceid to get regional variants of Channel 4 etc in the correct place
-- Additional channels after "official" list
