Which receiver do you have Bill?

Let the receiver sit on B3V's Home channel for a little while. It should fill in.

EPG Population, the long answer:

Here is how to determine what channels to use if you wish to populate your EPG Guide. For this you need access to the Internet.

Next, go to Lyngsat(dot)com. When the HOME page opens, you will observe a text box near the upper middle of the page. Position your mouse cursor over the far right column labeled 110W ? 119W and select the text block in the row PACKAGES and click on that selection.

This will open a satellite listing page. Go to the sat you are viewing and look over to the 2nd or third column from the right. If there is a box labeled FREQ, click on that (not all sats on Lyngsat are listed this way, but DN is). Now, a channel list will open.

Once that channel list opens, scroll down through the list until you locate the EPG channel. You will easily detect this because the EPG channel is highlighted in magenta. Before I mislead anyone, bare in mind that the normal EPG channels do not work very well to populate your EPG guide, although they do function. For DN you really need the EEPG channel or Extended Electronic Program Guide which was once on sat 110W but is now on sat 119 on TP18, 12.472 GHz (currently accurate as of 11/10/06).

Once you find that EEPG signal channel, glance over to the left and observe that the TP information is displayed in the left most column. Now, observe all the other channels that are on that same TP. These are the channels that you want to use to populate your EPG guide. As long as you are viewing the 119 sat, you can use the EEPG data from 119W for all DN sats, even those that do not have any EPG channels of their own.

Please note that nearly every channel carries it?s own EPG info, but that info normally only informs you what is currently being shown. Some channels may go out an hour or two and some (although very few) may go out several hours. Also, some satellites such as 129W don?t have an EPG channel of its own, so the only data you do get is the specific channel?s own EPG, if it is supplied.

The EEPG channel on 119W supports all info for every channel on every satellite that DN has in operation. It is therefore recommended that you set up your system to include 119W and use a channel from TP 12.472 Ghz as your EPG signal carrier.

Note that listed EPG or EEPG channel cannot be viewed or received directly. I believe it is listed on Lyngsat purely as a matter of information and courtesy. However, all the other channels on the same TP serve as ?carrier? channels for the EPG information.


Hope that helps.

Here is the Short Answer:

Attached are channels for each DN/BEV sat you may use for complete EPG population.

EXTENDED EPG: Using any of these channels will give extended EPG data for any/all DN sats.

119w
ESPNA--145
WGN--239
FOXMW--418
CSNMA--424
FOXCN--427
FOXN--436
SNY--438
NHL--544
NHL--550
NHL--552
NHL--554
NHL--557
NBA--572

SIRI--6071
SIRI--6073
SIRI--6074
SIRI--6077
SIRI--6080
SIRI--6086'Regular' EPG
If you don't have 119w, the following are lists for each individual DN sat:

61.5w/148w
PLSAT--607
TVN24--609
RTPI--615
GEOTV--620
NBN--778Code:

110w
BIOGR--119
VH1CL--163
MLTRY--195
HBOLT--309
SHOCS--321
TMC-W--329
TMCXW--330
FRESH--499
TMC-W--898
TMCXW--899

118.8w
GEMNI--799
SURYA--800
D118--9903

These next two are for B3V.
Note: Remember to add 1000 to the B3V channel number if you use BEV channel renumbering.


82w
FAIRM--716
FAIR--717
FAIRW--718
ABCHE--816Code:

91w
162 VuF2
167 VuF7

240 GLB/Edmont
280 NBC/Boston
296 UPN/Boston
352 Vu2
357 Vu7
410 The Score
510 BBC World

I hope this will clear up any uncertainty on which channels maybe used for best EPG population.
