Information needed for new channels (7flix, TEN HD and more)

Daniel, I assume, because of these posts, that, like me, you haven't found a better way of getting these triples than just asking people? :(

Sadly yes, there was a register that FreeTV used to maintain, but the last I heard the person whos job that was left and the duties were not re-assigned.

The T series plugin could have been coded to send the triplets automatically...

IanSav on the Beyonwiz forum contacted FreeTV about the register. He posted that the response he'd had from them was:

The person who maintains the document in question have been overseas for a very long time but has just returned to Australia. He will apparently get to update the document "in due course".

That was in December last year. The AUSTRALIAN DIGITAL TERRESTRIAL TELEVISION BROADCASTING SERVICE INFORMATION REGISTER still hasn't been updated. The fact that FreeTv left it without updates for more than three years because someone was overseas doesn't bode well for reliable and timely updates in the future.

It's also only available as a PDF, even though the PDF shows that the actual data is a spreadsheet.

See the whole sorry tale in Listings for ONID/TSID/SID triplets for digital TV channels on the Beyonwiz forum (you'll have to cut and paste the URL because of the mangling that the forum does on ampersands in URLs: http://www.beyonwiz.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=9892.

It's been discussed on the Beyonwiz forum before, in the context of getting the equivalent data for picon setup. I'd have thought it would be a bit hard in some cases matching the triples, LCNs and channel names back to regions for IceTV's use of the data. That's less of an issue for the picon setup, where it's basically done on the triple and the service name. I currently only organise that data by region because that's how I get it.

We also receive the Brisbane Channels, but I see you already have these.

Thanks

Ok, 7flix and TEN HD have been enabled in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. The only region left is the Gold Coast (just need the triplets for this region). They have placeholder data until the channels start on the 28th and 2nd so they can be used right now.

For NBN regions we will not be able to change the channels around until the new channels start unfortunately.

Dan, in Melbourne the place holder data says 10HD is starting of 28 Feb rather than the correct date in March.

Not sure if it is critical but it could cause confusion.

Ourguide and my TV's Freeview guide have 7Flix starting to broadcast at 6am tomorrow and while looking at the guide they just broadcast an announcement on 7Flix that it starts tomorrow

OurGuide has 10HD guide from 3pm Wednesday the 2nd. The TV says starting on that day but no guide yet
IceTV shows guide from 12.30am on the 2nd
