I've passed this on. Please be patient as this could take some time. Please report back if/when things improve for Wellington.

Thanks Spong.

 

I forgot to mention that, like Allan, I too do not have an EPG for Rush (To be announced).  It has been like that since the Freeview changes on 20 March. I assumed that it was because the developers hadn't yet found a source for the Rush EPG but are you seeing an EPG for Rush?

Yes, we have an EPG for Rush up here in Auckland, as with all of the other channels except for CTV8, and I don't think we've ever had one. I know that manipulation of channels has required deleting some existing data so new data maybe on the way through, but it would seem that TV2 is the biggest problem down you way at the moment. The problem is that there are differences in slots required for different territories. The people doing the guide are way down in the South Island and some fine tuning is required before everyone's setup.

Yes actually I don't have CTV8 either, but like you never had one and not a channel that I watch, so didn't mention it.

So do you have an EPG for BaseFM and CH200/Kordia TV?  I have never had an EPG for those channels (at least not since the demise of the Tivo service).  I also have no EPG for National Radio (but strangely only on one of my three Tivos despite rescans, reconnections and restarts) since it changed from an audio-only service a three or so years ago.

No guide for 71- BaseFM, and I wouldn't have expected one for an FM radio station. No channel 200 listed at all in Auckland since my last rescan. Can't remember if it was there before.

That's odd. CH200 is available in Auckland.  Has been a channel for a couple of years.  It used to be called Kordia TV.  From the Freeview website:

 

CH200

 

Channel: 200

 

channel-name channel-number

 

New Zealand Access Television. Do you want to take your next event to an even bigger audience? This channel can be rented on both a short and long-term basis. Contact CH200 at ch200.co.nz

 

Available only via UHF in Auckland, Waikato, Tauranga, Northern Bay of Plenty, Napier, Hastings, Palmerston North, Taranaki, Wellington, Canterbury and Dunedin.

Interesting. Channel 200 wasn't in my list until I entered 200 on my remote, and sure enough, it exists and then appeared (with no guide data) in my channel list.

There is EPG data for CH200.  Most of the day it just says "JUICE TV", but there are occasional things like "Covid-19 update".  And there are some gaps in the data at times.  On my Ubuntu 20.04 MythTV box, I get my EPG from the MHEG5 data using mhegepgsnoop, including CH200.  I host my updated Python 3 version of mhegepgsnoop on my web server here:

Good news! the TV2 EPG is back.  Thanks to those responsible (and thanks @Spong for passing the message on).

 

Still no EPG on Rush but not quite so concerned about that (but it would be good to get that working at some point).

Our EPG guys need to know if there are still issues with the Rush EPG, particularly in Wellington, and please let us know where your aerial is pointed to if possible.

I still have no EPG on Rush on any of my Tivos.  I am receiving from Kaukau in Wellington.

The channel guide is more entertaining than the content 😂
