Bad Plex EPG Guide Data -

Live TV & DVR
81

Work is in progress to make changes to how we handle the EPG data and it is hoped that this will address the recent reports of channels disappearing from some lineups. We have a few forum posts on this and Weather channel is one of the channels affected

82

@sa2000 another wrongly mapped channel I found:

108 kabel eins classics should be channel number 316
119 kabel eins classics HD should be channel number 335

In place of 108 & 119 this is the correct channel:
108 kabel eins
119 kabel eins HD

Additional channels with “To Be Announced”:

  • 115 SAT.1 HD
  • 281 HSE24 HD (shows some French guide data, this is a german channel)
  • 901 Sky 1 HD
83

Thank you. I have referred these to our provider

84

Munich East, 81476 - Kabel Deutschland
313 - Silverline Movies
333 - Sony Entertainment Channel
451 - esports1
Show no or wrong (451) guide data.

329 - TNT Comedy still has the picon and short name of Glitz

85

81476 is West, why are you using East? :thinking:

86

I discovered recently
https://helpdesk.kdgforum.de/sendb/belegung-16.html
I was surprised too… 81476 is fed by the Munich East head station. At least that is what I understood…

87

That’s very interesting, thanks. For the channels it shouldn’t matter anyhow, couldn’t spot a difference, appears to be just physically different endpoints.

88

A lot has changed since my reports, so @sa2000 here is a fresh report for 81476
Kabel Deutschland Munich (West/East) Digital:

Both Kabel Eins (Classics) and RTL mappings have been fixed.
There are still some “To be Announced” Channels:

  • 299 Handystar
  • 509 HealthTV
  • 605 ToggoPlus
  • 847 Sonlive TV

And some “24/7 same program without info” channels:

  • 450 Sport1+ HDTV
  • 232 HGTV (shows some “Blue Hustler programlamasi” information, wrong language)
  • 292 Channel21
  • 293 Sonnenklar TV
  • 297 HSE24 Extra
  • 298 QVC2

So in the current state the guide is very usable, almost all of the remaining channels are just shopping/advertising channels.

The only channel I’d personally like to see guide data for is 450 Sport 1+ HDTV. Then for my usage all channels are correct.

89
  • 233 HGTVHD shows “To be announced”
  • 313 Silverline Movies and 333 Sony Entertainment Channel only show a placeholder (“Programm von Silverline/Sony…”)

451 eSports1 seems to be fixed.

90

These two now have Program Data

91

Yep, which is why I haven’t included those in my newest post :wink:

92

Any time line on this fix?

Derek Boreman

93

This was fixed yesterday and lost channels restored. Please do a full epg refresh

94

Thanks!

Derek Boreman

95

Resolved as it seems.

96

Yep, and those are fixed as well:

Interestingly enough, 298 shows the correct data for QVC2 but is called QVC Plus. Looking further into it, it appears that via satellite (HD-Plus) the channel is indeed called QVC Plus but via cable it should be called QVC2. Don’t really care to see this “fixed”, just found the difference interesting.

97

@sa2000 fresh report:

These channels now have program data:

  • 232 HGTV
  • 509 HealthTV
  • 847 Sonlive TV

There are still two “To be Announced” Channels:

  • 299 Handystar
  • 605 ToggoPlus

And one “24/7 same program without info” channels:

  • 297 HSE24 Extra
98

Thanks for the feedback.

I have referred 297 and 299 to our provider
605 has already been referred

99

@sa2000 fresh report:

605 ToggoPlus now has program data.
299 Handystar has been turned off by Kabel Deutschland on 1st December.

Regression:
103 114 RTL
103 RTL and 114 RTL HD suddenly have no program data “To Be Announced” and no channel logos.

297 HSE24 Extra is still “24/7 same program without info”.
205 VOXup is missing from lineup.

I understand this should be resolved now.
