More Info
The transponder definitions provided for Crystal Palace within DVBLink are currently out of date. consequently, DVBLink only scans 7 transponders instead of the current 9 on the transmitter.
The Fix
You can add the missing transponder data by following the following steps:
- Open the DVBLink TVScource configuration web interface and log-in if applicable
- Ensure that the “Advanced mode” check box in the top right corner is selected
- Go to Sources > TV Sources
- Click the config (spanner) icon next to your tuner/tuner group for Freeview
- Select search channels
- Under ‘select your TV provider’ choose “DVB-T UK (Crystal Palace)” and click next
Note: The specific transponder settings below will not work for other transponders, however if you can identify transponders for another transmitter, the process is identical - On the left hand side of the current screen there is a long, vertical black bar. Click on it!
- At the bottom click the “Edit transponders” button
- Add the two missing transponders to the end of the list:
Note: This is valid as of January 2018, in the future it is liable to change.8=538000,H,9600
9=586000,H,9600The entire configuration should look like:
- click ‘save’
- Click the ‘scan’ button on the right hand side of the screen
- TVSource will now add the missing channels (16 in my case) to the system
- Press OK and configure the new channels as normal
