Live TV EPG - The update you’ve been waiting for

This is a follow-up to my post in July. The channel still has not been added.

Lineup Name: Local Broadcast Listings
Channel Number: 30.6
Channel Name: Start TV
Country: USA
Postal Code: 73071
Region/Market: Oklahoma City
PMS Version: 1.32.8.7639

Further, at the end of the year, channel 30.5 has changed from Twist to the Grio. See rabbitears.info link here. However, the EPG still has incorrect programming information for the chanel, still showing Twist (screenshot below).

Thanks in advance for your help.

Is @ sa2000 still here? It’s been almost two weeks since the last update on this thread.

@andyring I guess as he was posting over the Christmas holidays then maybe he’s taking his vacation later than everyone else.

Curious about the turn-around time on EPG fixes absent any responses after two months. Not sure if it’s something that takes months or longer to address. Any info is appreicated.

@sa2000 has been active in other forums, just not this one.

VERY disappointing that Plex, something I pay for, has such terrible customer support. Very disheartening.

I am sorry but I have been treating crashes and lockups and playback issues higher priority than DVR channels not showing in the lineups. I will come back to this forum thread and catch up

Current work around for HD-Repack is to “deselect” SD/HD ATSC v1 channel and remap to HD ATSC v3 broadcast channels. If this is the perfered method, request some clairification.

Hello, I have an issue with a channel missing its guide and information. WSYXDT2 is supposed to be MyTV, but it shows up as a duplicate of TheNest, which is WSYXDT4

This is in the Columbus, Ohio area

I do not see this. The Local Broadcast Listings lineup for your Lincoln Zip code is showing 4.5 as
4.5 : KSNBDT5 (KSNB-DT5 Affiliate: CW Plus)

It is possible it got corrected since - is the EPG Guide now ok for 4.5 ?
Go through DVR Settings and click on enabled channels and see what 4.5 is matched to

Some gracenote lineups have channel numbers appearing more than once and with different source station - If automatic channel matching does not pick the right channel source, you can manually override that in Live TV & DVR Settings and clicking on the xx enabled channels link and manually map tuner channels to EPG channels

I have put a request to Gracenote to review the OTA lineups for Lincoln, NE

requesting these channels to be added

7.6 QVC
8.6 Bounce (from KLKN)
10.2 Start TV (from KOLN)
10.3 Court TV (from KOLN)
12.5 NE-FNX
26.5 NE-FNX

and correcting 8.6 to be Bounce TV

and to also look into the duplicates

vcn callSign affiliate
4.1 KOLNDT2 Start TV
4.1 KSNBDT NBC
4.2 KOLNDT3 Court TV
4.2 KSNBDT2 MeTV
8.1 KLKNLD ABC
8.1 KLKNDT ABC
8.2 KLKNLD2 Grit
8.2 KLKNDT2 Grit
10.6 KOLNDT6 True Crime Network
10.6 KLKNDT6 Bounce TV

Please note that gracenote have indicated that they no longer add weak signal stations and would review requests case by case

I do see that some of the channels are showing as weak signal on Lincoln TV Antenna Map - TV Transmitters for Lincoln, NE 68521 – Channel Master

Can you tell from the DVR setup if 2.3 has a callsign of KCTADT3 or KCTIDT3 ? And is it ATSC 3 ? we do not support ATSC 3.0

The Local Broadcast Listings lineup for zip code 55116 has 2.3 as KTCIDT3 with Affiliate: Public Broadcasting Service

When you go to DVR Live TV Settings and click on the enabled channels link (xx enabled) - what do you see for 2.3 ? If it is not mapped to an EPG channel, you can manually do that and then see if the guide is right

The lineup for 51166 has these 2.x channels

vcn callSign affiliate
2.1 KTCADT Public Broadcasting Service
2.2 KTCADT2 Independent
2.3 KTCIDT3 Public Broadcasting Service
2.4 KTCADT4 PBS Kids HD
2.5 KTCADT5 Independent

Can you establish from the DVR which callsigns you are receiving these channels on

About 2 weeks ago, 2.3 (KTCIDT3) came back. So it seems like whatever happened, it was fixed upstream of your team in the EPG. But it wasn’t in the EPG for 3-4 weeks before that, oddly.

Thanks for looking, though, but it is resolved.

THANK YOU very much!!!

For what it’s worth, the correct entries for 4.1, 4.2 and 10.6 are:

4.1 - KSNB-DT (NBC)
4.2 - KSNBDT2 (MeTV)
10.6 - KOLNDT6 (TCN - True Crme Network)

KGTVDT8 10.8 QVC

I’ve tried separate threads, I’ve tried individual posts here and in separate threads, I’ve tried pretty much everything I can think of for multiple years to bring attention to these problems.

Back in early December 2023 had some channels change stations and IDs in our market. Not unusual for a multi-million person metroplex.

At that time, I reported in this thread that 68.3, which used to be GRIT is now LAFF which used to be 23.4. GRIT is now 33.3 or something like that.

Here’s the issue, or should I say issues. Issues that began YEARS ago when the GUI to manage the tuners changed.

First issue is the EPG doesn’t appear to reflect the changes as shown in the screenshots attached. 68.3 still shows GRIT, not LAFF

Second issue is the ONLY way to get all the channel changes to be reflected in ALL the tuners is to DELETE all the tuners from the DVR and then rebuild the system. This not only leaves an EPG that grows (see screen shot showing 719 channels in the EPG but is a LOT of work every time a channel is added and/or moves. You can select a “Rescan”, you can see it begin in the activity icon, but when it completes there is NO UPDATE to the tuners.

I’ve tried Rescan followed by close, Rescan followed by Save, and Rescan leaving the dialog box open. NOTHING. The ONLY thing that works is to delete ALL the tuners from the DVR.

It would be nice to be able to easily rescan the stations and update the EPG without spending hours deleting and re-adding the DVR which also leaves some undesirable effects with scheduled recordings.

PLEASE - what has to happen to finally fix this? Also, is there a way to “flush” the EPG of the 719 stations and rebuild it?

44.7 OANPlus still missing. I just purchased a Tablo to give it a test drive and it has 44.7 in the guide..

I am sorry but I have been dealing with what I classed as higher priority issues. I will catch up

I have submitted a request to Gracenote to add these channels which I believe you receive from the Mobile, Arkansas market

Note that according to Milton TV Antenna Map - TV Transmitters for Milton, FL 32571 – Channel Master channels 10.x, 19.x and 28.x show up to be weak stations and Gracenote have indicated before that they do not include weak stations in lineups but would consider each case as requested

I can see EPG schedules for these channels for Local Broadcast Listings lineup for zip code 32571 - can you give me specific examples / screenshots

Thanks
