Description

Appears to happen only with VCT...

Sent patch to Glen Dragon to get his vct.toString() to determine problem.

Work around is to set the channels as visible after scan.

Never got results of vct.toString() from Glen. He did tell me one of his broadcasters was testing ATSC transmission when he did the scan. With only that information, my guess has to be that this wasn't a bug but a proper result when the transmission is off-line according to the ATSC tables.

Umm. I did send you the log that you asked for. I will see if I can find it again, or reproduce it tonight.

I don't believe that this is a problem with one single broadcaster, since it was 4 of them.

Can you do a scan with the attached patch and send me the same info, but please delete the channels in the DB first.

New Log -> http://www.jetcom.org/~gad/scan/newscan-0908-debug.log Resultant channels are the same as previous. I delete the channels for that sourceid before every scan.

It looks like these channels are marked as being hidden in the channel guide. My guess is they got either got some kind of excemption to the July 1st PSIP mandate, or the FCC is just being really lax. I'll make a patch...

(In [7215]) Fixes #263.

This unhides channels that don't provide guide data.

This also makes the chanid's a little more human readable when the channel seperator is not a n undescore and makes sure that they are more sane when a human readable chanid is not available.
