Further to my response here, Gracenote have made changes to the schedule to fix the time-offset issue. Please check the schedule today / tomorrow to see if the times are now correct.

Plex Live TV OTA (mis) displaying EPG for one OTA single channel PosiTV [display channel 20.5, KTBWDT5 Tacoma (broadcast into Seattle, WA MSA with current local time zone being PDT [UTC -0700] ) ] UTC timestamp data as if local PDT (ie, 7 hours off) has been fixed!
Thank you Plex and Gracenote.
May God continue to protect and bless you-all, your associates and your families.
BTW, for a continuing topic such as this, is there some action I should take to mark that my specific (sub-topic) issue has been resolved?
thanks for the update.
i just switched to xteve and zap2xml, then point to plex. they are much quicker. and i can customized channel lineup and what channels i need guide data for.
I don’t know if something has changed at Plex’s end but it seems that the guide is showing Great Movies News halfway through movies on Freeview channel 034 Great Movies - thus breaking recordings 
I have noticed this happening. The issue is caused by missing or inaccurate movie runtime values - as we use that for deciding if a movie airing got split and needs to be merged. I have referred examples of incorrect or missing runtime values to gracenote. I can see that the issue will arise on 3 movies in next 2 weeks
I have referred the inaccurate or missing runtime values for these to Gracenote.
Thanks for the confirmation
No further action from you. I go through the issues serially and if i miss some, i hope that users can remind me
Hi,
Just tried to re scan my channels on UK Freeview after the reorganisation of the Multiplexes today.
The Horror Channel which was on channel 41 has been rebranded to “Legend” is missing.
Also the new “E4 Extra” channel 31 is missing
By missing I mean the channels are not available in the drop down box to link to the channels that I have scanned.

I’m seeing the same as you with Legend missing, but “E4 Extra” is showing for me:
The “E4 Extra” change was scheduled for yesterday, and the “Legend” one for today so I wonder if “Legend” will show up tomorrow.
E4 Extra was not showing earlier but now is showing in my list.
Not sure if this has appeared after a refresh of my EPG.
However the icon for the E4 Extra channel is still showing the old icon for “4Music”
This has now been fixed.

Regarding the 29th June and 30th June Freeview changes outlined here Channel Changes and closures on Freeview on 29th & 30th June | Freeview there appears to be some errors in the Gracenote application of the changes
I have referred the problem to Gracenote
The errors relate to
channel 31 which should now be E4 Extra
channel 41 which should now be Legend
channel 65 which should now be That’s TV (UK) moved from 91
channel 91 which should be Classic Hits - moved from 92 That’s Music (but 92 had an issue before in the lineups)
which lineup ? post code ?
Only Legend is an issue for me. GU47 post code.
Cool - thank you. I can verify that both QVC and QVC Style are no longer being tagged as HD.
However, Talk TV (that we reported prior to these two) is still being identified with the HD tag as well as being shown as “Talk TV HD (TALKHD)” in the EPG
I also see post rescan that:
- Channel 31: E4 Extra shows the EPG but as others have mentioned the logo is still the 4 Music logo.
- Channel 69: CBS Justice is now missing from the EPG
- Channel 208:- Pop Player is missing (Not sure if this is a streaming channel - Channel 207: POP is listed)
- Channel 271: Channelbox is missing
- Channel 272: Asharq News is missing
I don’t remember seeing these other issue prior to the rescan so I don’t know if they are new issues or not.
According to the details here CBS Justice is one of the channels which has been removed from Freeview. The CBS Justice website at http://www.cbsjustice.co.uk/ now redirects to the Legend website at https://www.legend-tv.co.uk/
Right place for this? I’ve noticed that local OTA PBS stations regularly disagrees with tTVDB on E&S numbers. This causes DVR’d shows to improperly classify them in the interface, and sometimes causesd missed recording because it thinks an ep is already recorded. Examples upcoming with “NOVA”:
7/3/22, 12AM, 57.1 WGBYDT, lists S48E10 The Great Airplane Race, where tTVDB shows that episode as S48E07
7/6/22 9PM, 24.1 WEDHDT, lists S48E17 “Age of Stars”, tTVDB lists that as S48E14
7/13/22 9PM, 24.1 WEDHDT, lists S49E10 “Ultimate Space Telescope”, tTVDB says that’s S50E01
It’s not consistently wrong, though; there’s a few in between there that agrees with tTVDB. Channel 65.1 WEDYDTseems to usually be more correct than not. I have not tried restricting my recordings to this station (I want more recording options).
I’ve noticed this same problem with “American Experience” as well as “NOVA” but have not logged which channels these are.
Are these items I should be reporting to tTVDB as errors? Or are these errors in the guide data?
Thanks!

Hiya - thanks for the posts already here in relation to this. Have the same problem as well (UK Freeview listings, postcode I am using is WV3)
Some of these problems surfaced during the week… around the time that the Horror Channel changed its name to Legend.
List of missing channels (definitely new problems):
- Legend - Ch41 = no guide data
- That’s TV (UK) - Ch65 = no guide data
- CBS Justice - Ch69 = no guide data, but this was removed from freeview in recent changes
- Classic Hits - Ch91 = no guide data
List of missing channels (these are older problems)
- Birmingham TV - Ch7 = no guide data
- Pop Player - Ch208 = never been available for me, and think this is an interactive player channel
- YAAS! - Ch212 = never been available for me, think this might be an interactive channel also
List of missing channels (no sure if these are older or newer problems)
- Channel 271: Channelbox is missing
- Channel 272: Asharq News is missing
Out of all of this, the one I am really bothered about is Legend (formely horror channel), as I do find that I do quite a bit of recording from their line up.
Let me know if helpful to post more info and happy to do so.
Best Wishes
Rich
Thanks very much for doing this! 
I don’t always get episode descriptions for shows on Live TV and DVR. This seems to mostly be for new airings, but occasionally for repeat airings as well. It doesn’t seem to be a problem for daily talk shows or sporting events.
When it is a problem, the episode description is shown as the generic show description (as in the first screenshot) - although some older DVR recordings (from March / April) just show the air date and season/episode number and no description at all.
