    hi, I'm in New Zealand, and have been using epgcollector successfully for many years.
    in the last week something has changed, whereby we only get data for 1/3 muxes .
    here we have 3 main channels (tvnz, tv3, prime). all the prime channels are populating, but tvnz and tv3 ones show " No data received "
    happy to post logs if this is the right place to be asking these questions?

    You should collect EIT data these days, not MHEG5.

    Apart from changing the type of data from memory the only other change I think you need is to set the 'use FreeSat Huffman tables..." on the Advanced Parameters dialog.

      I've adjusted, and it is populating thanks.. I hadn't found the huffman tables syntax (had been editing this in notepad++ previously, so actually forgot how to use the editor, heh).
      and ran it and it does populate, but all the data has huffman table info suspect that's why you suggest I change.

      have found the editor option and adjusted, but now see
      "<e> Index was outside the bounds of the array"</e>

      things have clearly changed a bit since I set this up so many years ago... may have to start from the beginning.. will view the documentation

    thanks for the assist.. I guess the legacy setup worked for a long time... not sure when it all changed cos.. why would we be looking to fix something not broken? heh. all good now.
