Hi @paulsalter,
No Quest on the channel you mentioned, the sad thing is, Quest HD is still in the EPG data, but the SD version isn’t there for Wenvoe Transmitter at all. Ah, the pain of it all!! It’s being transmitted on the multiplex to, so before we have questions about the missing channels being transmitted, they’re there, just not in the EPG data from the provider.

I have responded to similar issue here UK Channel Issues - 19 DAVE / 25 YESTDAY and other EPG issues - #5 by sa2000
The 12th June changes were
With regards to the Wenvoe Transmitter, if there has been changes to frequencies, we may need to change the Plex Tuner Service set of frequencies. I have asked for the frequency info in my response to the topic i linked
Right @sa2000, here’s another challenge for you, get the complete Freeview EPG overhauled as quick as you got those channels added back? I mean 207, 208 are still missing but being transmitted, and these to me are important channels for the kids!!
Seriously though, now we know it’s a Gracenote issue, can we get my 11 missing channels from Wenvoe Transmitter added back?
Dave
The information is freely available online but I have gone and got it for you -
http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0003/94917/700MHz_Clearance_Q3_2019_Wales.pdf see page 13.
This issue is going to keep cropping up as every Transmitter in the UK throughout this year is going to be changing frequencies to make space the 700MHz band. (Mine happens in August).
As you can see in the PDF - for the Wenvoe transmitter - COM7 was on UHF 31 and has moved to UHF 55.
GI has moved from 30 to 31.
Please see http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/operations/700mhz_clearance/clearance_events_in_2019 to see every date that you will need to update the Plex Tuner Service to cope with UHF channels changing.
I am raising this with the development team - we have a set of frequencies in MHz for each transmitter that we scan - I would need to understand how to map this information to actual frequency changes - there is probably another set of documents
Further down the page you can see a list of PDF documents for each region, for example I clicked on Wales to get get the PDF document in my above comment and that lists every transmitter covered by that region along with the UHF channels they are using before the frequency change and the ones after.
So for example looking at the list you can see the next date of changes is the 17th July and the first transmitter listed is Carmel which is says is in Wales.
So looking at the PDF for wales again and scrolling to page 15, we can see that ON the 17th July 2019 -
PSB1 which currently on UHF 60, will change to UHF 23
PSB2 which is currently on UHF 53, will change to UHF 26
PSB3 which is currently on UHF 57 will change to UHF 29
COM4 which is currently on UHF 54 will change to UHF 33
COM5 which is currently on UHF 58 will change to UHF 36
COM6 which is currently on UHF 49 will change to UHF 48
Every single transmitter change for the rest of the year caused by the need to free up the 700MHz band, is listed in the PDF documents contained on that page.
Your team will need to create a database or something so that as each date passes the correct config for the chosen transmitter is updated.
EDIT: If what you mean is you don’t understand how the UHF channel maps to the actual MHz frequency in use - then here is a UK table: https://www.digitalspy.com/tech/terrestrial/a12613/uhf-channel-and-frequency-guide/
The UHF Channels 21-68 map the centre frequency listed in the table.
eg UHF 21 = 474MHz
Right @sa2000 I see @asjmcguireplex Has been helping also, which has saved me checking while I was out.
My question now, is once I’ve installed the new version of the PMS, am I required to remove the DVR and start again, or is it just a case that it’ll re-scan the channels and then I try and add the UK ones that are missing?
Cheers,
Dave
something wrong with this command, I’m getting zero bytes back from curl into the file and using just the HTTP statement in browser gives me an error also
Hi @sa2000
I’m using the newest Version 1.16.1.1246. I have to say it’s so SLOOOOOW. the scanning has been running for about 26 minutes now. and it’s time to download the new EPG is also very SLOOOW.
I’m trying to do the Mendip Scan but it’s been running for ages.
Is there any performance changes ? Can it be improved?
Good luck with that one, be prepared to fill the form in for missing channels etc. No doubt I’ll get told off for writing in this thread again? The one thing you’ll notice with the new lineups is the names all weird and the addition of the Irish channels in all UK lineups!! Obviously someone at Plex is either having a laugh or thinks the entire UK has moved?
Will be filling able form in tonight as I’m going through each lineup to highlight errors, I’ve started writing them down… The list is big, and the demands are small, we need a working lineup, not multiple ones, just one for each region, is that too much to ask?
Dave
Hi @mw0dcmplex, Nope I welcome your posts, I don’t feel singled out. but yes, I’d spotted the ‘strange’ EPG guide data. To be honest, I’ve been looking at EPGCollector whcih is an Open source OTA DVB-T epg collection tool. And there is a Linux version too (just for you)
I’m going to give that a try later after I have provided the logs but the scanning been at 95% for about 1 hour now…
Will check out that EPG grabber later, and I’ve always been singled out, that’s the price I pay for being different
hi @sa2000
something seriously wrong wioth the scanner now, I cannt finish a mendip scann, it gets stuck at 95 % see screenshots.
also included logs into the zip file
Full amd Mendip.zip (5.7 MB)
This build has some serious issues, I’d added a HD homerun but now it can’t find my WINTV PCIe Card. It’s like theres a switch in Plex which support either HDHomerun or WinTV CArds not both ? Any suggestions?
@systemshark That’s a strange one!! I’ve just tried adding my RTL based TV Tuner and it’s working alongside my WinTV DuoHD Tuners, in effect giving me an overkill 7 tuners, so the issue you’re having is one that I’ve not come across. I wonder if @sa2000 can help? Get those logs ready though 
I’m about to re add the DVR to switch over to the OTA lineup as requested, then the fun begins I fear??
Dave
A New beta is out
Release Notice for 1.16.1.1273 i has now been added - see Plex Media Server
You do need a full guide refresh to correct the errors for E1
Hi @Sa2000
Latest build has been loaded onto my machine. However the Mendip Scan is still missing the first 10 channels.
I’ve rebooted the machine and I’ve got the following configuration running.
Device 1 HD Homerun
Device 2 WinTV-quadHD PCIe card - First Tuner
Device 3 WinTV-quadHD PCIe card - Second tuner
Configured and Available Tuners = 6
Device 1 = HDHomerun - Scanned As Full UK = 165 Available Channels, 124 Enabled
Device 2 = WintTV-quadHD = Scanned as Mendip = 86 Channels Available, 45 Enabled
Device 3 = WinTV-quadHD = Scanned as UK Full = 167 Channels Available, 103 Enabled
I’ve noticed that mapping to channels is better when I select FreeView Play West IPTV
but it does miss a whole lot of channels. (for these numbers I’m acceppted the default mappings to EPG)
I’m home again tomorrow so I can do ‘curl’ logs for you then but here is the server log. (all stuff I can do remotely)
Plex Media Server Logs_2019-06-27_08-41-53.zip (3.4 MB)
I have just rebuilt my Ubuntu home server and reinstalled Plex. I have a HD Homerun Connect Quatro device attached and have had a plex pass now for over a year. However, the Plex tuner will not now display programs on the BB1 Channel? It sets it up in the DVR, etc., but just hangs when I try and watch something? It works fine before? It shows programmes on all the other channels, including BCC1 HD. HDHomerun on my windows10 computer also shows BBC1 programmes fine. We do have a TV license too. I have reinstalled the Tuner several times now, but no difference. This seems very odd! Any ideas anyone?
Try scanning for all of UK rather than your local transmitter. I have the same issue. I can’t get bbc1 etc from my local config.
Trying this at present - working through various permutations, but no result so far.
