Re: Possible incorrect xmltv Atlas grabber

John,

When I differed the results of each FreeSAT and Freeview options, I found
there were about 31 channels present on the atlas Freeview channel list
that were missing from the freeSat one. So I manually added those missing
channels onto the default Freesat config file that atlas --configure had
already generated. By using some convoluted chain of unix diff, sort and
uniq cmds. It was not very pleasant. And region-specific.

I also asked on dev mailing list for better ways (or atlas grabber). There
are not any it seems - the uk atlas one not have any built-in feature to
combine sources without the duplication of channels. The configure script
only permits you to select either free view or freest, not both of them.

Anyway, before that, I set up my atlas API account to take specifically
from PressAssociation data source only (in atlas website --> my account
pages). As that is the one you are supposed to be using for UK tv listings
data (AFIAK, last time i checked).

The subsequent grabs generally seem to work ok. But actually i do not
bother to check up on it. The listings appear after a while (within 24
hours) in tvheadend. Perhaps not all channels on Freeview/FreeSat. But
indeed the major ones are (BBC, iTV etc).
