Why when doing a programme search there is never anything on from itv?.

works fine in the ITV Central west region

Search works OK on all the ITV family of channels on my HDR.

umm i dont kinow then but if i put a search in for say drama/all channels and all times it always seems to e4/ch4/bbc and nothing else no itv or anything but the results are always 250 items found.

Ah, a "Genre" search, I don't do this much.

I thought you meant a search for a programme name. It does work if you search for Emmerdale, or Coronation, etc., it will find the programmes on ITV.

I have just tried various Genre searches, and you are correct that none seem to come up for ITV.

I wouldn't put the blame for this on the HDR, though.

I would bet my bottom dollar that the fault lies with ITV. Experience shows that the metadata they provide to the EPG on Freesat is cr*p. If they don't provide the genre information, then the HDR cannot return it.

That would be my guess - yet another ITV cock-up

Edit : I've just done a Genre search on Freeview, and ITV programmes are returned. This shows ITV can provide the metadata, but just don't seem to get it right on Freesat, even though they are a joint founding partner in the venture.

Rgds.
