Slightly off topic but I recently uninstalled the EEPG plugin and reverted back to pure XMLTV data as I was finding it introduced too much instability into my VDR setup. With the plugin I would have problems with my DVB-S2 card causing VDR to restart with the 'broken stream' error code every week or so. Since removing the EEPG plugin I've returned to having flawless VDR uptime and stability again.

I too have seen occasional EPG data on other channels become garbled.
Is it possible that 'other transport stream' EIT data when received on the HD channel transport stream, is sometimes Huffman compressed? This of course is regardless whether the Eepg plugin is present or not.

Time to start adding some more printfs...
The first byte of encoded strings should be 0x1f,
followed by 1 or 2
indicating which table should be used (one is
optimised for titles, the
other for descriptions). "Normal" strings either start
with a printable
character for the default character set or a code <
0x20 indicating the
character set. I use eepg too, but I haven't noticed
it scrambling
anything (this is probably the first time I've looked
at QVC's schedule
though ;)).
Over the evening, it scrambled more and more channels!
:-s
Thanks for the pointer to 0x1f! Now I know where to look.
(I assume that eepg only decodes EPG that comes in "over the air" and doesn't touch any EPG alread stored.)
