    Problem Solved
    For anyone in the future looking, I had 2 Freesat home muxes tuned in 11425h and 11426h. I think they were both auto-discovered but deleting 11426h worked and the below channels are starting to get EPG data.

    I have a TBS 6909 and tvheadend setup that works very well. It was off for a long time but I have it working very well again but I'm missing some channels on my EPG and I'm not really sure why.

    I have basically all the FTA channels mapped and I'm only missing epg for this list + a couple others

    drama, drama+1,
    pick (pick+1 has epg and is on the same mux?)
    really
    challenge, (challenge+1 has epg & same mux)
    channel 4 (both hd and SD mapped neither are getting epg, but there are like 15 different channel 4 sd's)
    stv
    4seven (same mux as channel 4 hd)


    I only care about epg for channel 4 out of those but equally I'd like to figure out why some of the others only have epg data for the +1 channel.


    I have EIT OTA grabber, OpenTV Sky UK, UK: Freesat (EIT) grabbers enabled. And they are working and getting 7day epg for most channels.

    some channels eg Dave and Yesterday have full epg but Drama and Drama +1 are missing EPG but those channels are all on the same 12129V transponder. Presume it's to do with the service ID of the channel, but I've tried both the versions of Drama on that mux and haven't got either to populate the EPG.

    Don't particularly care about Drama/Drama+1 but I presume its the same thing which will help me figure out why Channel 4 isn't getting an EPG. I saw a few years ago Channel 4 took their epg data away from Freesat so I'm planning on copying the data from OpenTV for the SD channel on Sky, if I could even get that channel to get the EPG data.


    I populated my channel list using a ROI Sky Bouquet if that makes a difference for the EPG data?

    Any help to understand how to fix these few channels epg would be great

    Anything you're getting from the Freesat TP should also be on the open sky source so you are only duplicating and possibly even creating a conflict. CH4 HD should be on open sky. I would guess you are missing some because you selected RoI. Not all channels are supposed to be available here so use UK instead. It's been many years since I messed with these things so don't put your mortgage on my rusty knowledge :)

    Thanks Gerry, it was a conflict! I had two of the Freesat mux with the epg info and something was going a bit funny.

    Have manually added the extra channels so have a nice mix of all the channels with familiar sky numbering, not that I even press the numbers much anymore.

    All sorted now just need to get saorview dvb-t channels added
