[mythtvnz] EIT guide problem with new MythTV Version

[Colin Fraser]

So still struggling...

I did the "apt update && apt full-upgrade && apt autoremove" and managed to
get the mythtv versions moved to on both those commands 33. Yay! But it
still had the same problem.

This fresh install was on a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 install that was upgraded to
22.04 before installing myth TV.

So, I thought I would start with 22.04 directly, but couldn't even get that
to pickup any channels... I am wondering if the locale is wrong as it
didn't ask for locale settings when installing 22.04, and starts scanning
from channel 5 whereas the old version started from 20 something...

Rather than research locale updates in Ubuntu 22.04 server and figure out
why it was not picking up any channels, I thought I may as well try and
upgrade the original mythtv OS as at least that one is working with EIT
working on all channels... so upgraded to 20.04 then 22.04... took a while,
but got there in the end, and myth TV version has moved to 32 on that box
(have not added the myth tv ppa's).

But now this box is also no longer updating channel guide data with EIT on
all the channels... sigh...

We do have a pretty weak signal on TV 3 (and related), but fine for TV 1
(and related)...

Note sure what version of MythTV the guide data stopped working on, but it
is not working properly on versions 32 and 33...

To recap, Channel 1, 2, 3, Bravo, 2+1, eden, Bravo +1, Prime, 1 +1 Dueke +1
and 15 all don't seem to be getting EIT updates. I assume it will be the
same as before, just getting what's on now and next, though it still has a
few days' guide data from before upgrading.

Channel 5, eden +1, hgtv, Al Haxerra, Shine, First Light, Hope, Parliament,
33, Southern TV, WairarapaTV, Radio NZ, Ch 200 and a test channel all have
guide data out for a week... I don't think all of those channels actually
work here, but they have guide data...

So, not sure what to look at next. Any tips welcome... Perhaps I need to
sort out the signal strength issues for some of the channels that aren't
always working that well, but as mentioned, it works on the older Myth
versions (the guide data, not all the channels).

Any tips appreciated.

Regards
Colin
