I'm also having a 'missing channel' issue but with Duke and mhegepgsnoop.

I've attached my channel map which I use with the '-f' switch as follows:
mhegepgsnoop-0.6.1.py -d "/dev/dvb/adapter1/demux0" -p -z -f
$HOME/.mhegsnoop/channel_map -t 28 -o $LISTINGS_DVBT

I grab from DVBT and DVBS (using the old epgsnoop) and merge with tv_cat
but I'm pretty sure its all very out of date as I haven't updated it for
over 5 years.

Can someone bring me up to date on what I should be scanning for?

Cheers
