My HDHomeRun picks up a couple of different channels that are not available in the dropdown for me to map a channel to in the Guide Channels. When I see my available channels that my HDHomeRun shows it has 34.1 (WNIT-HD), 34.2 (WNIT-SD), 34.3(WNIT-KC) and 34.4(Kids-SD). However I can only map 34.1 and 34.2 for channels. I have contacted WNIT over a month ago and stated that their channels are not showing up as available in my Plex server but have gotten only automated responses. What can I do to get 34.3 and 34.4 as options to record and play via Plex?
Can you share a screen shot? Picture might help describe what you are seeing.
This happened to one of my channels too, you just need to scroll through the list to see which fits it best and is not already in use and it will work again… you can do the same with 34.2 and 34.4 if you check their boxes…
To kind of expound on that a bit: TBD is now being broadcast on 14.4 here, but it WAS being broadcast on 23.3. So I looked through the list and found it at 23.3, selected it, and it moved the 14.4 channel to the 23.3 station in my guide…
This means either the channel moved to a different frequency or your antenna is not picking it up.
Thanks. I ended up selecting WGVK 52.2 as the station to use instead of WNIT-KC 34.3. I did my best to compare the station lineup for the kids programming between that and my local WNIT kids. They looked to be the same guide data wise for today’s programming.
I can watch the 34.3 via the HDHomeRun app with no issues. Just not listed in Plex.
That’s because the HDHomeRun doesn’t use the EPG that Plex uses… the EPG Provider plex uses has just not been updated to the proper frequency
Any suggestions for future on how to contact Plex to talk with their EPG provider to update to the proper frequency?
Someone should know this information already… Hopefully they will answer with who plex uses for EPG… But, if you wanted to, you also have the option of finding a more updated/more appropriate EPG provider, and using them. See below:
To be fair though, this will happen frequently in the US till early part of 2020, because cellular is taking over currently Occupied TV space…
@DanielJay23 – I would recommend this approach. I use the zap2xml.pl script on my system. It works great, handles all the expected OTA channels and grabs extended program guide data. Pretty easy to integrate into your plex system.
