No problems here with reception. I tested my antenna with the DVB-T tuner built into a friends Toshiba laptop. V 3.1 worked flawlessly with that tuner so I know there is no reception problem.
The previous dump was created with the data going through the same low level code as an actual collection and it's this low level code that I suspect is losing your data so the dump was incomplete.
I have also done a small correction so it's worth trying a collection although I'm not hopeful. Don't bother posting the log.
I only need one dump so maybe darthmeow can do it?
Dump file is uploading now. Is approx 180-ish MB. Will take a while even at 3mbps. (EDIT: here it is - http://tunadigital.co.nz/epg)
Ran a collection test at 10sec lock, 60sec collect - no apparent issues. Generated guide data with 3,894 entries so we look to be gold. Still DSMCC errors here and there but they don't seem to be affecting the collection.
Occasional errors are OK. The blocks will just be read later in the collection and MHEG5 is one of the protocols where you can tell when you have all the data so there won't be any entries missing (unless the broadcaster hasn't sent them of course).
I only did a small change to the DirectShow filter code. With your tuner it would miss a single MPEG2 block occasionally. I'm pretty surprised it made that much difference.
I must be cursed. Mine still crashes, error code 5

Any opinions expressed on Geekzone are my own and not those of my employer.
The exception in the previous run is due to receiving corrupted data and that can come and go from run to run. At the moment some corruptions produce an exception and the collection stops and others are just logged (darthmeow has had some of those) and the collection continues.
I will make it consistent so that data corruptions are just logged.
I've converted more program exceptions due to corrupt data into entries in the log. It's possible you can still get an exception as I'm still considering whether it's a good idea to convert every exception into a log entry as this could mask an actual fault in the software rather than corrupt data.
