This post seems old, but it seems to be the only place to report EPG issues.

Plex Version 4.138.0
Zip Code; 84010 Greater Salt Lake City Area
Channel 16.1 KUPX

I’m trying to schedule Hockey on my DVR, but the Plex guide has the wrong info. The schedule from the channels website (via TitanTV) is accurate.

in the dvr settings what it selected for that channels epg? meaning do these match?

16.1 looks correct.

Another Plex EPG that’s wrong when TitanTV is correct.

I caught it and extended the recording of the 30 minute basketball game by 120 minutes.

@aozminski when you click on the dropdown for 14.1 does it have multiple 14.1 options?

Oh, yes! There is a 2nd 14.1 available. I’ll try that one.

I was hopeful that there was a second 16.1, but that’s not the case.

  • What the actual problem or inaccuracy is with any related screenshots
    The guide data is wrong for 16.1 KUPX Utah16. Specifically during NHL Utah Hockey Club games. The channel’s website shows the correct guide information. 90% of the time the guide shows something other than the game that’s actually being broadcast. Watching the broadcast shows the game is playing, not whatever’s in the guide.

  • The lineup name (you’ll find the lineup name on the Live TV & DVR settings page under CHANNEL SOURCES ) - see screenshot below
    Local Broadcast Listings

  • Channel number and channel name
    16.1, KUPXDT, Utah16

  • For airing issues, the airing times, time zone, movie or show/series and episode titles
    The most recent example is 10/30/2024 at 7:30PM MT. The KUPX website shows “NHL Hockey: Calgary Flames at Utah Hockey Club” but the Plex DVR shows “Judge Judy”

EDIT: Looks like I have the exact same issue as aozminski

I’m experiencing this issue as well and it is ongoing - the Plex Guide has the games on 11/1, 11/2 and 11/7 but is missing the game on 11/4 and is just showing CSI: Miami. TV Guide for my area (Portland 97201) has the correct schedule of games: Portland, OR TV Guide - Tonight's Antenna, Cable or Satellite TV Schedule - TV Guide

Seems like a Gracenote issue? Would love a fix for this as it makes it basically impossible to record Blazers games consistently - there aren’t really reruns of live sports so if you miss it because the guide was wrong you miss it for good. @BigWheel if you have the time to take a quick look at this it would be greatly appreciated by all the folks here in Portland trying to take advantage of our local NBA team’s new broadcast TV deal.

edit2: can confirm the game is missing from Gracenote’s listings: Full episodes and TV Listings

edit3: Well now I don’t know what to think, KATU’s schedule on their own website doesn’t have the game listed either: Portland Schedule | News, Weather, Sports, Breaking News

I guess we’ll wait and see if they air it or not, but it seems like the fault might actually be with KATU for this one. If the guide does end up being wrong, I actually know someone who works at KATU that could probably address this. I’ll reach out to them if it ends up being a problem.

A little update for those suffering the KATU missing Blazers games issue (@ghills88 and @PDXfoster)

I checked in with someone I know who works in engineering at KATU and they confirmed it’s a guide issue on their end that they’re working to correct. It looks like all we can do is sit tight and wait for them to get the guide straightened out, as it’s not a Plex/Gracenote issue. Straight from the source:

Every Blazers game with the exception of the TNT broadcasted game on 1/28 will be on KATU 2.2 (Charge!).
They’re still working out the program guides data since the national schedule for Charge keeps being prioritized… Eventually we’ll get it right!

What the actual problem : Chaanel KJYY 29.8, MeTV Toons is missing from the line-up, and thus I can’t enable that channel.

I’ve posted repeatedly since June 2024. Plex version doesn’t matter, it never makes any difference. The server has even been reformatted with a different file system and the newest Plex clean installed, and of no surprise to anyone, the missing channels continue to be missing.

4 posts were split to a new topic: 97216 EPG missing channels

Missing channels in Rochester, NY 14622 from the Plex EPG.

6.6 NBC American Crimes
6.7 Currently nothing on this channel
6.8 DEFY
20.1 HSN
20.2 Story Television
20.3 CTVN
20.4 Binge

While other changes like ION Plus and MeTV Toons have been made in the EPG these other channels I listed have not been added to the EPG. I have lost track as to how many times I have posted about this issue. And again I ask why is there not an option in the channel mapping to just say “No Data Available” to a channel that I can receive but is not listed in the Select Channel pull down so I can at least watch the channel even though it has no EPG information to display?

I thought that the version and install of plex didn’t really matter for EPG, it’s just if the service the data comes from has your channel yet or not. https://tvlistings.zap2it.com/

Hello! In Cleveland the group which owns the Cavs recently started an OTA network that currently broadcasts live NBA G League, minor league hockey, and local high school football games (and possibly Cavs games in the future when the cable rights expire).

I’d love to see this added to the listings, thanks!

It looks like mine has been resolved. thanks

Server Version#: Latest
Player Version#: Plex app on Nvidia Shield
Tuner Make/Model: HomeRun Quad
Guide/Lineup name: Freview North West
Using XMLTV?: No
Channel number/Name: All

At least once a week I have to delete my tuner and reinstall and download the guide again. All HD channels show as Unknown Airing. This sometimes sorts it but not always, sometimes it needs doing a few times.

I see other posts dating back to 2021 for a similar issue with the UK guide, asking when its going to be fixed but still an issue.

I have reached out to Plex and received a reply to say they don’t deal with support by email and ask in the forums. As I am paying for a plex pass I expect better.

Missing channel in EPG.

Sever version: Latest. Version 1.41.1.9057
Tuner: HD Homerun Flex 4K

Using XMLTV?: No
Channel Number/Name: 44,2/KPHE-LD

HD Homerun detects KPHE on 44.2 and HD Homerun app will tune it fine but no EPG mapping appears in Plex for this channel.
