Unknown Airings arise when there are gaps in the schedule - I suspect this was a transient issue

The Local Broadcast Listings lineup for 75022 does show 68.3 as LAFF

Currently this is what the lineup has for the 68.x channels from KPXD-TV

vcn callsign affiliate
68.1 KPXDDT ION Television
68.2 KPXDDT2 Bounce TV
68.3 KPXDDT3 Laff
68.4 KPXDDT4 DEFY TV
68.5 KPXDDT5 Scripps News
68.6 KPXDDT6 Scripps News
68.7 KPXDDT7 HSN2

Your screenshot here suggests the DVR tuner showed it as Grit

The tuner needs to switch to the the new channel for 68.3

Any channel number changes - once updated within the tuner - need to be manually matched to the EPG channels in the drop-down on the right hand side.

Please let me know if there is still an issue with the 68.x channels

I have sent a request to gracenote to add missing channels:

vcn callsign affiliate
44.7 OANPlus One America Plus
44.8 AWEPlus AWE Plus
44.9 KBS KBS World
44.10 MVTV Mariavision

Have you used a number of different zip codes and/or lineups for your DVRs setup ? When you open the drop-down showing the 719 channels, how many lineups is it merging together ?

Thanks for raising this. In future if there is any time critical issue, please send me a Private Message with a link to the forum post so that i can look into it at the time,

Late updates may get missed as the update would need to filter through to gracenote, and then get ingested by our back end systems and then for Plex Media Server daily scheduled tasks to run and update the guide.

Thank you for your post. I have referred this to Gracenote

@sa2000 And I’m missing Practice 2 and Qualifying for the first 3 races of the year, lost them for the Australian Grand Prix over the last couple of days. As of last evening, I did see Qualifying still in the recording schedule.

The TV guide for the Ireland TV channel Cúla 4 is incorrect - the Plex EPG has the wrong programme names and times, and has incorrect on-air times.
The correct schedule is published at https://www.tg4.ie/en/irish-tv-schedule/cula4-schedule/

Can this be updated please?

I haven’t looked at my DVR for months as most of my recordings are for others.

I just checked on Sonarr (which I use to let me know which episodes I am missing) and I have missed 2 from “Bake Off: The Professionals” (Channel 4, UK, Oxfordshire)

I went to my Plex DVR and every single channel has “Unknown Airing”. My guide literally does not have a single channel’s worth of info.

I refreshed several times, deleted and re-added my DVR - no change.

Can anyone assist? I have no clue what happened. I can watch TV live and it does tell me what is on right now).


Edit: My location is UK, OX25 with Freeview (Antenna).


edit 2: OK, so I can see the guide when using my browser, but not using Plex for Mac. OK, I will report this separately.
Also, I have not missed any new episodes (I was confusing the next season with the last one). Apologies for my mistake.

it. Plex apparently just ain’t listening.

So far, out of 4 Formula 1 races this year, Practice 2 and Qualifying episodes have not been recorded, with PMS claiming it found an existing match. Nothing matches ‘Qualif’ in the filesystems. Obviously, I’m going to have to explore alternatives to watch this.
