I live close to one market (Richmond, VA) but also can usually receive channels from another market (Norfolk) which includes some channels that are not available in Richmond.
Prior to the great EPG debacle I was able to select a zip halfway between two markets to get guide data for the two markets I receive signal, but now if I delete my DVR and set it up again, I cannot find a zip code that will let me get all the channels I need. It’s either Broadcast TV-Richmond/Petersburg OTA Broadcast (which also includes Charlottesville stations), Broadcast TV-Norflk/Prtsmth OTA Broadcast, or Broadcast TV-Williamsburg OTA Broadcast which gets some from both markets but some (like PBS 23 and FOX 35) both come up as NBC channels.
What I want is a way to map an individual channel, say WRLH (Richmond channel 35, which Williamsburg lists as WCTX) from one market and another, say WGNT (Norfolk channel 27, which Richmond lists as Charlottesville WAHU), from another. Is this even possible?
It really sucks that I just bought a lifetime pass so now I’m invested in this product that is now broken. Is there any fix in sight??
I am having the same issue. Live in upstate New York, live between two OTA markets. I can not get all channels from a single market. So I have two antennas, two tuner cards, and unable to set the DVR for LiveTV to support these two markets. It worked previously now like Turkeyboy, I cannot find zip code where I can get all the information for LiveTV guide. Fortunately I have not purchased the the lifetime membership which was my next step. But this is a lesson learned, and one I hope they repair for those with membership. I am going to start my search elsewhere, I read Emby may work
I’m using zap2xml and the info there set up to the zip code that previously worked before all this, and my whole guide is back how it was.
I’ll spare you the 3 hour ordeal before finally finding the solution which involved creating a batch file with username and password to run the exe instead of just running the exe. This youtube helped with that. All that’s left is copying/pasting the location of the xmltv.xml file into PLEX, badabing badaboom we’re in business.
The instructions did say to create a daily scheduled task, which is my next step, but it appears it is possible to have PLEX run like it used to…until zap2it shuts down
You mentioned setting up a daily scheduled task. Were you able to do so, and if so, would you share what you did?
Also, if Plex is monitoring this thread, this is a critical issue for many of us that live between two markets. Please consider the ability to add more than one DVR Guide.
Sorry for not getting back sooner, I have not found a way to schedule a daily task. Most of which is due to lack of free time to mess with it, it’s just been easier to run that batch file and reload guide every week…
I have the same issue in Tyler, Texas, USA. I have several new OTA channels that don’t have a match in the current lineup for Tyler, but if I change the line up to pull from Shreveport, LA then the new channels have matches but my others do not. It seems my channel line up is split between 2 EPG lineups. Does Plex have any way of using 2 lineups to match channels?
