Liftetime subscription. Based in Ireland. Trying to setup DVR. Plex sees my Vbox TV Gateway. Finds all channels. When I try to add postcode for EPG the continue button is greyed out and I cannot proceed any further.
I don’t think PostCode is an effective localisation mechanism in Ireland as our Eircode system is specific to addresses rather than localities. The D01-D024 (per your example in app) are only applicable in Dublin, and has now been incorporated into the National Eircode system.
The entire country gets the same Saorview EPG, so this step is pretty redundant for antenna based tuners in Ireland.
I have had plex set up for a while in Ireland. From memory it was either to put D11(space) or it was just to put D11 and have no space for the postcode and it would allow you to press the next button.
I would try it out again, but I’ve gotten it the way Iike it and don’t want to ruin it.
As a workaround, select United Kingdom as Country, then enter the
example postcode CF31. One of the guide options is called Eire (extended)
which has most of the Saorview channels.
When you add a postcode the continue button is greyed out. If you select United Kingdom instead of Ireland in the previous window and a London postcode like sw1x you will be able to see Saorview, Saorsat, Eir and Virgin Media for Irish channels.
Edit: Just checked again and if you just add the first three digits of your postcode it will work. Adding my whole postcode doesn’t let you continue
Yep, I was just coming back here to say the same thing after receiving another report. It only requires what I believe you call the three character “routing key”, which is in the hint (as D01 I think) but maybe not 100% intuitive. For other systems in your country would you expect to have to type out your full Eircode for something like this?
Postcodes are relatively new here so anything that needs it would need the full code. If I was to use D01 or D15 I would get the same channels. TV is not as regional as it is in the UK.
