@Uncledweeb

Time zone: PST
Lineup: HD Hometun Quatro
The Plex TV guide is incorrect for Chanels 53.2,53.5, and 53.6.
It appears that I am receiving the PST TV feed but the guide is for EST.
I had the same problem with the HD Homerun TV app and they changed the listing to PST which fixed their problem. After that I tried refreshing the guide but that has not fixed the problem on

Sorry for taking a long time to respond.

I have looked at the EPG schedules for the 53.x channels for your zip code and picked the following examples for each channel - I have converted the UTC EPG times to PST. Can you please tell me which of these are wrong. The 53.1 one appears correct as the news bulletin title matches the PST start time

@ms3ars

Over the last month I’ve noticed that the episode synopsis was incorrect on one of my DVR shows (Eastenders - UK soap opera).
When I cross-checked with TVDB, I could see that the episode number was incorrect - the number was a week ahead (see attached images 1_1, 1_2, & 1_3).

The issue appears to have corrected itself. I can see episode numbers for this week matching those on tvdb

beginsAt (GMT)	Show	Episode	Season	Episode #
Mon 29-Jan-2024 19:30	EastEnders	EastEnders	2024	17
Tue 30-Jan-2024 19:30	EastEnders	EastEnders	2024	18
Wed 31-Jan-2024 19:30	EastEnders	EastEnders	2024	19
Thu 01-Feb-2024 19:30	EastEnders	EastEnders	2024	20
Mon 05-Feb-2024 19:30	EastEnders	EastEnders	2024	21
Tue 06-Feb-2024 19:30	EastEnders	EastEnders	2024	22

Thu 08-Feb-2024 19:30	EastEnders	EastEnders	2024	24

But please be aware that EPG episode / season numbering may differ from other sources and it is for this reason that we took the decision in February 2020 to stop automatching recordings and to preserve EPG metadata - see EPG metadata is now retained for DVR recordings - Live TV & DVR - Plex Forum

Channel Number/Name: 15.5 (ION) and 15.6 (Circle)
Country: USA
Postal code: 45714 (26101 nearby)
Region: Southeast OH, Northwest WV (Eastern Timezone

I have passed a request to Gracenote to add these channels to the Parkersburg, WV lineups

I can see here the station signal is very weak for 45714 Belpre Ohio Belpre TV Antenna Map - TV Transmitters for Belpre, OH 45714 – Channel Master
Also the channels do not show up for nearby Ohio market on rabbitears.info - for Zanesville, Ohio

But for Parkersburg the signals are strong Parkersburg TV Antenna Map - TV Transmitters for Parkersburg, VA 26101 – Channel Master and the channels also show up on rabbitears for the Parkersburg Ohio market

Channel 53.2 (MeTV) Guide says The Waltons but what is actually on is Perry Mason

Channel 53.5 (H&I) Guide says Hawaii Five-O but what is actually on is an unknown Western show.

53.1 and 53.6 are correct

[Uncledweeb]

The unknown Western was Rawhide

Channel 53.5 (H&I) Guide says Hawaii Five-O but what is actually on is an unknown Western show.

thanks - so 53.2 and 53.5 appear to be 3 hours out

I will refer this to Gracenote next week

[KeanenW]

I have a fix I’d like to submit. US zip code 56468, Spectrum Cable, Channel 827 is mapping to a generic “Regional Sports Extra Games HD” channel and it should be the same as channels 64 and 419 (these are SD and 827 is HD). The correct mapping is “Bally Sports North Extra”.

Thank you!!

Hi.

WWYA in the Greenville/Spartanburg area of SC recently changed their 28-6 sub-channel to Ace Television Network (it was formerly Twist).

This would affect several ZIP codes, including 29607, 29615, 29605, 29601, and others.

Could this be updated, please?

53.1 and 53.6 are correct

The error where “53.2 MeTV” and “53.5 Heroes & Icons” are 3 hours out has been referred to Gracenote

[MSchmidty2]

I’m not sure if this is the right place, but here goes: Fox 2 News Morning in the Comcast Detroit area guide, channel 234 (zip 48195) has the correct name in the guide, but once the show is recorded to the DVR, it is stored under " Mykyta the Fox".

Thanks.

Hi @sa2000 - is this something you can help with?

[npmeyer]

I’m in zip 07040 in Essex County, NJ (New York City market). I notice a number of incorrect/missing OTA channels in the EPG for my zip code:

• WNBC subchannel 4.4 is Oxygen but the EPG has it as WNJUDT5 (COZI TV):

• Subchannels 24.2 and 24.3 (WASA) are missing:

• Channels 32.1, 32.2, 32.3 (WXNY) are missing:
• Channel 43 and its subchannels (WZME) are missing:

• Channel 49.1 (WEDW) and 63.6 (WMBC) are missing:

• Finally a number of channels have started broadcasting on ATSC 3.0 in the 100 range. These are missing too:

Thanks in advance.

Some missing EPG data. The guide is mostly excellent, and the channels and times match up well so far. There’s one set of sub-channels that my tuner picks up (27.2 through 27.7) that are missing in the EPG. strangely, it finds 27.1 which is broadcast from the same location.

27.1 WWAXHD (this one works!)
27.2 Charge
27.3 EWNNOW
27.4 Fido
27.5 Corner
27.6 WWAX365
27.7 WWAXOUT
Line up name: Local Broadcast Listings (90 channels)
USA, postal code 06119 (central connecticut)
Plex Version 1.40.0.7775

[MSchmidty2]

My issue seems to be repaired.

Hi there,

We’re going on 7 months since the addition of StartTV was referred to Gracenote and there’s still not EPG information for them. Also, I never heard if the Grio was going to be updated from “Twist” 30.5 in my area.

Full post here: Live TV EPG - The update you’ve been waiting for - #2328 by fourthed

Thanks in advance.

[pshanew]

@sa2000 Could this be looked into, please? Let me know if more information is needed.

As mentioned, it would affect several Upstate South Carolina ZIP codes; however, I’m using 29607 - “Local Broadcast Listings (88 channels).”

Thanks!
