EPG location/Channel matching for Sky UK broken

[grahamlucas]

In the Tuner Setup, the Sky EPG Locations (Freesat from Sky, Sky Q and Sky SD) have duplicate channel numbers for both TV and radio channels.

Only the first of these two channels can be selected in the EPG channels list, so for many of the channels it’s impossible to select the TV channel.

To replicate:

• Add a new tuner (UK postcode) with Sky channel numbering
• Tuner Setup > EPG Location: select any of the three Sky entries (e.g. Sky Q)
• try changing any of the EPG channels with duplicate channel numbers and it will only allow the first entry. e.g. 102 BBC Two > 102 BBC Radio 2

Please fix!

Similar problem here using DirecTV New York. Some of the channels are listed as using the same channel number so you can only choose the top-most listed item. Therefore you cannot get the correct guide data for those channels.

As you can see in the picture below, I would like to choose the guide data for ESPN 2 but because it’s listed as :

209 ESPN (ESPNA)
209 ESPN2 (ESPN2A)
209 ESPN2 HD (ESPN2HD)
209 ESPN2 (ESPN2)

I’m forced to use ‘209 ESPN (ESPNA)’ and am unable to choose the 3rd option 209 ESPN2 HD (ESPN2HD) because it will just force the 1st option even when selecting the 3rd.

It’s nearly three months since first reporting this bug and it’s still not fixed. I’ll check again in a couple of months, just to keep this topic open but I doubt if it will even be acknowledged yet alone fixed!
