It's very odd. The servicerefs for WIN in Nodeity's terrestrial LCN bouquet are quite different from the ones I was sent on the Beyonwiz forum as the scan results for Toowoomba (for my Toowoomba picondefs setup).

The data I have is (x:x:x:SID:TSID:ONID:Namespace:...):

... I really don't understand why they would be different

Hard to say how without knowing what your antenna setup is like, but the sensitivity of the T3 and t4 tuners may be different anyway.

Quote from: Nodeity on March 13, 2016, 02:12:51 PMare they stored in the flash memory or are they on the HDD?  If they are on the HDD, Would I be better off formatting it and starting again?

The scan data is all stored in the firmware flash (in /etc/enigma2). Reformatting the HDD won't affect the scan data. Re-loading the firmware from USB, or less drastically, doing a factory reset,will clear the scan data (and most other settings).
Thanks, I assume If I keep a copy of the system backup on a separate backup drive, I can restore it later when I next do a full re-install? Otherwise, it's going to be a real pain in the rectum if the T4 crashes for whatever reason or I need to do a factory restore in the future.

Would that explain why I was getting two sets of channel 9 stations earlier?

I don't know. I was hoping that Dave might be able to identify why there was a difference.

If the "userbouquet.terrestrial_lcn.tv" are different on the T4, is that going to be a problem if I do a full re-install later?
No, because we have the channel settings (TSID, ONID, SID aka triples) in our system for both your T3 and T4.

I'm curious if your T3 and T4 both show channel logos in the guide for 9 and 9HD?

Yes, I noticed that the triples in my T4's picons (with the latest public beta firmware) don't match the triples in nodiety's terrestrial LCN file. The single digit SIDs seem wrong to me, but I guess they could be valid.

I was going to ask if you can email me a copy of your triples list so I can check what other differences there are in our system compared to your list.

On the assumption that you will email me, I've emailed you the servicerefs/channel names list. :) I don't have a direct email address, so I sent it to the IceTV support email.

No, no channel logos in the guide for any of the channel nine stations.  It doesn't bother me because I find that they look cluttered in my EPG, but I guess others from my location might like them.  :)

I trust you already know you can set 'Service Title mode' to 'Service Name' to hide the picons.

I find if I have it set to 'Picons and Service Name' I tend to read the Service Name and ignore the picons. But I prefer just the picons (thanks prl).

Actually, it would be useful to have the scan data from Nodeity's T3 (and perhaps T4, if they scan differently) for the picon setup.

Nodeity, would you be able to post them over in the Beyonwiz forum? Instructions are at:

This is what we have for those triples

Yeah, been doing that since the picons were available.  The problem for me is that they are nearly unrecognisable when they are in the EPG at a size that is convenient.  If they made them simpler so that they scaled better, I'd probably use them.  :)

Does that last post Dave made, have what you're after?  otherwise, where do I get that info from in the box, is it in the etc/enigma2, in which case what files?

My request has nothing directly to do with IceTV. It's about providing Beyonwiz T series picon setup for Toowoomba.

I don't know which is which, but I believe that the channels that used to be Gold 2 are now Extra. Gold 2 was apparently a 5-hour timeshift of Gold.

From the Wikipedia entry for Gold2:
QuoteGold2 was replaced by the Nine Network's metropolitan informercial channel eXtra on 21 January 2016.
