Hi, this is a request to add a missing channel to the OTA EPG in my area.
ZIP: 91761
EPG Location “Local Broadcast Listings (184 Channels)”
Los Angeles, California, USA broadcast area.
Channel: 63.3 RETRO (KBEH DT3)
Thanks in advance!
I got an update last week that the channel was out of scope
They did inform us before that they are now deeming low powered stations as being out of scope and would consider each specific case / request
Looking up WBQC-LD stations here WBQC-LD - Wikipedia - it is mentioned that this is a low-power TV station
I asked for clafirication as to why they have 25.1 to 25.12 but not 25.13
I suspect that they had a policy change where low power stations are no longer added to lineups
I see all 63.x are missing
I have passed the request to Gracenote

I have referred this Gracenote for the following missing channels
2.7 WLBZDT7 QVC
2.8 WLBZDT8 HSN
20.1 W20ER-D Defy TV
20.2 W20ER-D ION (was TrueReal)
20.3 W20ER-D Scripps News
20.4 W20ER-D Laff
32.1 W32FS-D Bounce TV
32.2 W32FS-D Court TV
32.3 W32FS-D Grit
32.4 W32FS-D ION Mystery
Also 19.1 to 19.6
and 36.1 to 36.6
Both sets being WABI-TV channels
I hope they don’t remove the low power channels that are already there. That is what over half of our channels are that we have. If that happens I will need to move off of plex and find something else. Hopefully you will find a provider that will do the low power channels.
All they said is that they will no longer be automatically adding to lineups new channels from Low-Power TV Stations and they would consider case by case as the requests to add are raised
{I wasn’t sure whether to post this associated in a long PMS topic or here in this EPG topic given this seems to be a very timely severe (for my installation at least) problem.}
PMS for Mac 1.32.0.6865
There seems to be either a broad EPG failure or an abrupt PMS bug.
Suddenly, regularly scheduled OTA Live TV shows regularly scheduled to record were not in the DVR Schedule and for the first time did not record today, Friday 7 April 2023, nor do they appear in the DVR Schedule to record in the future.
I tried canceling one scheduled recording, then re-creating it as it was with New Airings only. Despite there being NEW showings listed in the Guide, one even within a couple hours from which I initiated the schedule, no recordings are listed in the DVR Schedule.
I then tried changing to Repeat and New Airings. Similarly, this failed to result any DVR Schedule entries.
I have a lengthy posting in a PMS topic:
Confirming I’m seeing the same / similar issue with sudden failure of scheduled recordings as of April 7, 2023. In my case it’s currently isolated to specific scheduled recordings which simply are not recording even though there are airings marked as NEW in the guide. Other scheduled recordings are working as expected. I’ve tried canceling and recreating the problematic scheduled recordings with various options without any luck. As a test I was able to create an entirely different series recording and recording events immediately appeared in the DVR Schedule. This seems to me to be an isolated issue related to something specific that popped up in EPG impacting certain recordings even though they show as NEW in the guide.

I posted some further comments in the other (original lengthy) topic:
I started seeing problems with the DVR recordings of my daily local news programs. They used to be recorded with a date. Starting about 2 days ago, it stopped recording by date and started recording by episode number. But, it is seeing every daily news program as Episode 0. So, if there is a recording from yesterday with Episode 0, then it doesn’t record the news because it sees that it already recorded Episode 0. If I delete all of the previous news recordings and set up a new scheduled recording for today, I can get it to record today’s news. What a cluster f…
I also first noticed the issue with daily local news program recordings. After reading your note about Episode 0 I recall seeing that in guide today. In my case there’s a separate recording series for weekend vs. weekday (they’re titled differently) and as a test I deleted all recorded weekend shows and then toggled a setting on the weekend series recording and immediately saw episodes for this weekend appear in DVR schedule. I’m guessing it may not record the Sunday episode once Saturday is on the server if this behavior is related to Episode 0 as you observed.
Odd this issue just suddenly showing up as I’ve recorded daily local news for well over a year without any issues.
I just wanted to say that I am experiencing the exact same thing. I have some regular recurring news recordings (FOX news at 10pm ET, CBS news at 11pm ET) that I have been recording daily for years that stopped recording starting on april 7th. AS previously stated, the DVR schedule tab just shows recordings for april 6th and prior. I originally thought it was some database problem where the DVR schedule section was simply stuck, but SO glad I found this thread and I’m NOT ALONE!!!
I tried deleting the DVR and recreating it. I tried deleting all the series that I had and re-creating (even with ALL airings and not just NEW airings). I tried updating the DVR dozens of times. does anyone know what is going on here under the covers? Is it a guide issue or a PMS bug? Doesn’t seem like a guide issue, as upcoming instances of the recording are showing up in the guide as to be recorded, but apparently the DVR series entry do not recognize them as an upcoming airing.
Running PMS Version 1.31.3.6868 on MAC OSX Monterey.
What i’ve seen is that it will have a bad original air date and even with the NEW tag, it just doesn’t care. I assume because of the Date field.
Ex. CBS News Colorado at 10PM/Season 2023/CBS News Colorado at 10PM - 2023-03-01 00 00 00 - Episode 02-28.ts where that was the original air date, but if I look at the metadata for the EPG,
programme start="20230410040000 +0000" stop="20230410043500 +0000" channel="US21297.hdhomerun.com">

The recording symbol that shows up in the guide is only signifying that that program shows up in the DVR recording listings. It doesn’t mean that this episode is necessarily going to be recorded. It would depend on the recording settings and what has already been recorded. It has to show up in the DVR Schedule to actually be recorded.
I’m not certain, but this seems like it would be an EPG issue.
I’ve had to delete any prior local news program recordings in order for the DVR to add new ones to the DVR Schedule. My DVR is seeing all of the local news programs as Episode 0, whereas they used to be recorded by date.
