Thanks!

Thanks for reporting this. I see from wikipedia that these two channels are available from KDTL-LD KDTL-LD - Wikipedia

I do not see these channels showing up here Maryville TV Antenna Map - TV Transmitters for Maryville, IL 62062 – Channel Master

Whilst I have referred this to gracenote, I do know that they no longer add low power stations to lineups - so it is very possible the response will be that

The Wikipedia page for KDTL-LD does say this is low-power television station

It’s been about 3 weeks since I posted this. Any thoughts? Anything you can do to help?

Thanks, Dan

Please can you let me have url and pdf if available for the channel lineup for Foxtel showing these ultra hd channels

I found this https://www.foxtel.com.au/content/dam/foxtel/business/pdf/BUS04714_Channel_Guide_Update_10_SME_NON_PUBLIC_PREM_2pp_A4_V1_Interactive.pdf but it does not mention channels 591 to 595

Thanks for reporting this

On checking transmitters for the zip code here Bernardsville TV Antenna Map - TV Transmitters for Bernardsville, NJ 07924 – Channel Master I can see channel 49.1 - showing as not a strong signal.
I cannot see 57.1 as being available

On checking rabbitears.info for closest market to your zip code, I see 49.1 available for New York City market. I do not see 57.1 WSPG as being available

I have sent a request to Gracenote to add 49.1 to your zip code lineup, As it is showing as weak signal, it is very possible that the request will be refused as they no longer include weak signal stations in lineups

With regards to 57.1, it is probably available in nearby region and we do have an option for users to add a lineup for another zip code and select channels to map from that additional lineup. This is available on first setup of the DVR

At this moment, we do have an issue with this feature which has been referred to our Plex Web development team

This happens when the same internal channel identifier is mapped to more than one tuner channel . At the moment we have a bug in Plex Web where the error text is not displayed. This is being fixed in the next release of Plex Web 4.121.0 - look out for a release with this release note text - [DVR] Fixed DVR channel mapping error message not shown

I have asked Gracenote to add these channels to the Astra FTA lineup.

The outcome of the request from @Rainey01 is that Gracenote agreed to add the 26.x WMNN-LD channels but not the 15.x W15DF-D channels which they indicated are out of scope for their database

These 26.x channels now appear in the lineup for @Rainey01

26.1 WMNNLD Independent
26.2 WMNNLD2 Independent
26.3 WMNNLD3 COZI TV
26.4 WMNNLD4 ShopHQ

26.10 WMNND10 Antenna TV

If you have other channels that are missing, please let me have lineup name, zip code and details of the missing channels

Gracenote have previously responded indicating these channels were out of scope. I will ask if this is still the case

I thank you Sir. I think 57.1 was coming in due to tropospheric ducting at the time. 49.1 comes in loud clear believe it or not. Screenshot provided.

Is this still an issue ?

I am extracting the EPG schedule for today and tomorrow and giving you Las Vegas Pacific time for each. Let me know if it is wrong ? and may be just time-shifted and having the wrong timezone?

Hey @sa2000

Yeah they are technically ‘pop-up’ channels although they always accessible via channel input.

Both here, if you toggle Foxtel channels on Perth TV Guide - All TV Show times, All Channels - 9Entertainment

And via ChannelsDVR guide (gracenote)

The old full time 4k fox sport (508) is available as K01ANZ, which now has the programming guide of 591 (Fox sports uhd1) and is regularly updated by gracenote.

Understand they may not be looking into providing the guide for these 5 channels, just thought I would ask the question as the first channel is already being updated by them and would be quite useful for my setup. :slight_smile:

I did have another post recently of a number of Foxtel channels logos have gone dead. A few have been updated recently but still are a lot not working.

Thanks

Thanks for reporting this

I have asked Gracenote to look into adding these

From KSLA: 12.6 DEFY Defy TV
From KTSH-CD: 19.5 CBS CBS
From K30QB-D: 47.7 ITK QVC in the Kitchen

I also mentioned the 30.x channels that you are receiving - but on this transmitters info page they show as very weak signal so it is possible they will not get added

Note that I mentioned to gracenote you are also receiving 40.2 Biz TV
This does not show on rabbitears.info for the Shreveport market and it does not show on the transmitter strength web page for your area

Problems with new HDHomeRun Flex 4K tuner, the old EXTEND worked fine, I think it has something to do with ATSC3.0. The tuner doesn’t see 13.1 or 13.2, but 113.1 and 113.2, which are listed as HVEC. The Plex tuner will see those stations and the bottom, and they are unchecked. If I check them and try to match them to the 13.1/13.2, it can never tune to those stations although the guide will load. The HDHomeRun app can play those channels.

US, 87124, NM Albuquerque, Local Broadcast Listings. Plex Version 1.32.8.7639

Channels KRQE and FoxNM. Old channels that still work on old tuners are 13.1/13.2, new channels listed by HDHomeRun are 113.1/113.2. The new channels are listed as HEVC HD.

Edit: Well, I put in 87120 (another ABQ zip) and rescanned from plex, and it found 13.1 and 13.2. Not sure what that was about. But I still don’t see the HEVC channels in the guide.

I’m not sure why those channels would be “out of scope”. My tuner identifies them via scan without any difficulty utilizing a small indoor antenna (I believe I am less than 15 miles from signal source). All other channels for the 16.x family are listed as expected. I have resolve the issue temporarily by utilizing a Chicago IL channel listing (I believe postal code 60601) to assign Oxygen and GetTV for guide listings. This work around has been working correctly since I posted my original request.

Thank you for checking in. The issue has been resolved.

Why is W15DF out of scope for their database? If those channels aren’t in their database, I don’t seem to be able to use them. How can I enable them if I’m willing to accept there’s no EPG?

The lineup name : Freeview (158 channels)
Channel number and channel name 056 THATSTV (That’s TV)
Loads of “to be announced” appearing in the EPG for this channel

trying to record “The League of Gentlemen” all 6 episodes are on this week but I can only see episodes 1, 3 and 6

CBS Local Los Angeles not on EPG.

Yesterday I noticed that all my EPG went missing. In an attempt figure out the cause, I started going through my channel sources and upon refreshing my OTA local listings, it appears that CBS (Channel 2.x through digital 31.x) antenna is missing from the EPG. Looking at my signal monitor, I do see the channel is broadcasting, which is what I would expect.

Christmas University Challenge (Freeview UK BBC2, 20:30 every day next week) is showing as ‘Tol Be Announced’ on Monday and Tuesday.
