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

I have just compared the Local Broadcast Listings lineups for zip codes 87124 and 87120 and they both have the 13.x channels

vcn CallSign Affiliate
13.1 KRQEDT CBS
13.2 KRQEDT2 FOX
13.3 KRQEDT3 Bounce TV

I am located in the Metro Detroit Michigan USA market.

Channel 62.5 Story TV is available in this market.
The channel is picked up by Plex version 1.32.8.7639

The guide data is not available for 62.5 Story Television from WWJ-TV

Regards, Bob.

Medford OR, zip 97504

Last few weeks I noticed a few programs on CBS (CH 10.1 KTVL) have been cut off at the end. After checking logs as well as all of my connections etc. I found that the channel guide is responsible with inaccurate listings. I have verified that it is only on the CBS network 10.1, and 10.2-4 seem to be OK.

Thanks… Bryan

I posted about this previously but I’m adding some additional information in case it will help.

WWYA in the Greenville/Spartanburg area of SC recently changed their 28.6 sub-channel to Ace Television Network (it was formerly Twist). However, since my original post, it has been updated to Biz TV, which is incorrect (Biz TV is 28.7).

This would affect several ZIP codes, including 29607, 29615, 29605, 29601, and others (I’m in 29607).

Could this be updated, please? Thanks!

Is there a possibility of supporting mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan regions in the future?

Can external XMLTV and EPGs provided by Plex for different regions not be combined? I’m trying to add my own XMLTV alongside EPGs from Plex for different regions, but it seems like once I use an external XMLTV, I can only add another XMLTV. Similarly, when I use a regional EPG, I can only add EPGs from other regions and can’t add XMLTV again. I hope it’s possible to mix and match them.

Is this still an issue ? Which Zip code ?

I checked Los Angeles Zip Code 90001 and the Local Broadcast Listings lineup has this channel

2.1 KCBSDT KCBS-DT CBS

If it is still a problem, please confirm the zip code, lineup/guide name in DVR setup and what the tuner shows the channel number/callsign/name to be

I can now see these 3.x channels in the Chicago Local Broadcast Listings lineup

I have made a new request to Gracenote asking again for 30.6 Start TV to be added to the Oklahoma market lineups

I looked for these channels for zip code 95054 here Santa Clara TV Antenna Map - TV Transmitters for Santa Clara, CA 95054 – Channel Master and the channels either do not show or show as weak signal low powered channels

Gracenote have indicated that they no longer add low powered stations in lineups

Looking at rabbitears.info website market listing for San Francisco, here as well 14.2 does not show for KDTV-TV channels
Also the 16.x KCSZ channels do not show

Nevertheless, I will still put a request to gracenote to consider adding the channels to the Santa Clara lineups

Hello @sa2000

Thank you - i have bumped the open issue on this

And… 'nother opportunity with the Formula 1 season EPG, right on the first weekend.

Right now, the EPG shows that the Bahrain Qualifying episode is being broadcast, yet I don’t see it in the schedule, and I’m not seeing consistent entries in the logs. I do have a recurring recording schedule for Formula 1 Racing… Race weekends should have 3 practice sessions, qualifying and the race itself for a total of 5 episodes between Thursday & Sunday. I have practice 1, and practice 3 recorded, qualifying is NOT getting recorded, and I’m really hoping that the race does get recorded in 22 hours. The race is listed in the DVR schedule. I do recall seeing the qualifying session listed earlier this week.

Sacramento EPG lineup channel 13.5 Catchy (KOVRDT5) does not have guide data. Is there more information I need to provide to get it added?

Doggone it, it’s bloomin’ well gone and done it AGAIN.

Qualifying for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix was showing in the schedule to be recorded, it’s just been dropped in the last hour. WHAT IS GOING ON?

I have a large number entries in “Plex Media Server.*” like the following:

I have no idea where that’s coming from, I have no entries for it in the filesystem:

Why are these episodes getting dropped at literally the last minute?

Shoot… Practice 2 is also missing for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. I’ve just done a full refresh on the EPG, and the Qualifying session is still not getting recorded.

Can you please update the Over the Air listings for Zip code 44136 for the following:

35.2 The Story Channel

55.6 The Binge Channel

Plex Version 4.123.2

Thank you

Apologies for taking a long time to come back here
