Yes good question. I am in Sydney on Icetv.
Did your icetv xmltv data feed continue to work with Icetv ?
Mine just stopped working the morning of the 24th dec.
When I follow the new Plex process and pit in my post code etc, I see heaps of EPGs for Australia, Freeview, FetchTV and then one that has 148 channels in it covering lots of NSW.
Am I supposed to see a EPG entry here named Gracenote??
I checked with Icetv and they say it should still be working ??
I started to report this last week but abandoned my post after the problem went away - restarting both Plex for Windows and Plex Server.
Unfortunately the same thing has happened again this week.
So far I’ve only noticed it on 4 Music (Channel 030) on Freeview but there seems to be an overlapping episode and unnecessarily long episode issue with The Good Place:
As can be seen Plex is showing airing for:
29/12: 02:10 to 02:35 - S04 E11
29/12: 02:15 to 02:40 - S04 E11
29/12: 02:35 to 07:00 - S04 E12
Looking at the Freeview guide the airings should be:
29/12: 02:15 to 02:40 - S04 E11
29/12: 02:40 to 03:05 - S04 E12
If I restart Plex for Windows and Plex Server, like I did last week, then the overlapping episode disappears but I am still left with the really long showing of S04 E12 on the 29th and S04 E13 on the 30th - both until 07:00 whereas most of that is Teleshopping:
This seems to have also affected data for the 27/12 (yesterday) and 28/12 (this morning) but unfortunately I didn’t notice it until one of my fellow Plexers pointed it out to me:
As I mentioned above, I also saw this last week. These are the screenshot from the 22nd and 23rd showing the same issues:
They show the overlapping episode issues as well as the long episodes. However, a restart seem to fix both problems. Unfortunately, this week only the overlapping issue is solved by a restart.
@captain_caveman2k has already said it, but I had the same thing:
…and have the same for tomorrow as well.
I am pointing this out as we are in different postcode areas in the UK.
I have also just checked NextPVR (also w/Gracenote) and that displays the same problem, so this is not unique to how Plex ingests the data.
Hi Fellow Aussie, I have attached a reference to different transmitter locations. Now if it like my location there are different transmitter locations and duplication of a said Television network with or without regional influences.
Following the callsigns may help eliminate channels not required. Your Terrestrial Aerial direction and favoured HD and SD signals should be easier. It’s Unfortunate some postcodes, there will be duplication.
The drop down menu will assist further as in my screenshot.-
Hi sa2000, any update on the irish postcode issue, I can confirm that i D01 is still not working.
wondering if you’ve made any progress on this? I’m running into the cablecard/OTA mix scenario.
Plex developers, PLEASE READ THIS!
OK, re-installed the DVR (simple process), the new Guide has a number to right of it, I assume this means I have the new EPG. I was able to re-schedule 5 of my 22 series, will require weekly updates through the end of January to get the remaining 17 series scheduled, what a pain…
I hope the change will be worth the thousands of accumulated hours that Plex DVR users have had to spend re-creating their recording schedule.
I do have allot of respect for the Plex developers BUT, the next time this type of change is forced on the users some of the developers should walk through the process a few months in advance to see if they can add a tool or something that can save the users all of the time we have had to spend to make up for what looked like Plex’s VERY unprofessional last minute decision.
Requested Future Updates for the DVR function:
I am from Brisbane. Some of mine don’t seem to work either from IceTV. Not sure whether to delete my DVR and restart just yet, seems to be some issues on moving back
I’m also in Melbourne, and have reported this internally
Thanks, good to know. Is this something that will auto update when fixed or will we have to edit the channel mapping?
Trying to work out whether to stick with the gracenote guide or go back to my old one for now.
Uhhh, I’m not sure off the top of my head 
“HEY! What’s goin on?”
This all makes me cry a little bit.

I think the devs may be confused about something.
Plex. is. not. my. life.
Nor should it be. And I suspect some might object to the notion that this is the expectation. So, let’s talk about that.
Plex should work when I want it to, requiring nothing more from me than install, set-up, and update. Yet, when simply having it work properly when I want it to demands that I give Plex constant attention just to keep major features from dying (like it’s a newborn infant) and then offer suggestions such as creating reminders throughout the year just to keep from losing what I’ve already invested a great deal of time setting up in the first place and only learning about that expectation by regularly scouring user forums, then, yes, you are asking me to make Plex my life.
The possibility exists that sometimes objectivity can get lost when Plex is—in fact—your life (your job); but please understand that there is a difference between when you are getting paid to use workarounds and scour forums versus when you have paid and then must use workarounds and scour forums.
Here’s an example of what I mean by not understanding that “Plex is not my life.”
Me: I haven’t used Plex much lately and literally JUST found out within the hour of this EPG fiasco.
Plex: “WHAT!? No! There was a post/banner/blowin-in-the-wind about it in the ‘wherevers’ (but not email).”
Me:
That response even entering into someone’s mind tells me that—consciously or not—they expect that my life revolves around Plex somehow or at least that Plex is integral to my life and that it is unthinkable that it could not be.
Me:
.
By way of contrast, here is a possible example of how a new EPG is implemented with the actual understanding that ‘Plex is not my life.’
Plex: “Remember that thing you wanted? Well, ‘Tah-dah!’ There is a new EPG. All of your current settings will be automatically migrated. Enjoy! Merry Plexivus, everybody!”
Everybody: “Yay! (for now)”
“That would take longer,” maybe you’re thinking?
If so, here’s how dealing with that happens without expecting that ‘Plex is my life.’
Plex-lifers: “We want thing, NOW!”
Plex: “Hey, Remember that thing you wanted, Plex-lifers? Well, it’s coming later on for most people.
But, for you Lifers who want it now, here’s all the magical things you have to fiddle with and Plex Dances to do so it will even work and not self-destruct your house.
For everyone else, who are probably not even reading this because you have actual, human newborn infants to take care of, one day you’ll wake up and the new, better thing will automatically be in place with an update. No dance required. ‘Tah-dah!’ You’re welcome, everybody. Happy 20?? We’d include Plex-lifers in that -you’re welcome-, but we all know they are thankless and will simply use the opportunity to beat us over the head with something else we haven’t done yet.”
(non-absent) Everybodies: “Yay! You’re the best (for now.)”
Everybody Else: " . . . " [GIRL FROM IPANEMA MUZAK PLAYING]
Plex-lifers: “Right. Now about that [INSERT EVERYTHING HERE].”
Maybe that’s just a crazy dream. But it should have been possible.
So, yes. Apparently, the expectation (admit it or not, remain in denial or not) IS, in fact, that Plex is my life.
Well, that’s all.
I’ve stalled long enough. Baby Plex has pooped itself again. Guess I better get my dancing shoes on and go back to figuring this crazy thing out.
Hi there,
Is there a specific question you wanted help on, or did you just need to get that off your chest? This is a genuine question as, having read your post, I am not sure what to do with it.
For most people, certainly for me, changing over EPG’s took less time than I can imagine it took to write your post, but we’d be happy to help you though it if you want?
There are a bunch of shows that are no longer in my DVR recording list because they are not on air right now, but making a note to check back once in a while isn’t the end of the world (for me).
I am not suggesting the EPG is perfect, but neither are the Dev’s. They wrote that, as it is now providing a generally better experience than the current EPG, it’s worth moving across so everyone can take advantage (even though it is still in active development).
[edit: typos and clarification]
We are still waiting for Gracenote to resolve the availability of lineups for Ireland post codes.
Well said. It took me less time for me to re-setup the DVR and recordings than it took for me to read icarrizal’s post, time I will never get back.
Clearly Plex is not your life but writing verbose and self serving posts clearly. is. your. life! 
I suggest you get.a.life.
All the best 
Is there really no way to delete all the scheduled shows at once instead of doing it through the web UI and clicking literally hundreds of times for my all my shows?
Another half assed implementation from Plex. Wish I could get a refund on my lifetime and send it to the channelsDVR guys.
Not that I can see.
In principle, this is a one-off operation so I guess multi-edit wasn’t considered.
you have literally 100’s of shows in your DVR queue? …wow.
I have ~10 TV series and ~30 movies (higher movies than normal over the Christmas period) and thought that was a lot.
Sorry if it has been answered has anyone got this to work in uk. annoying i lost it trying to swap over. i cannot get past post code. Tried reading thread but didnt see solution.
Just to double check: did you only use capitals and stop at the end of the first bit eg: OX12? …sometimes it can take a few seconds to accept.
