Live TV EPG - The update you’ve been waiting for

That was quick, the guide appears to be working correctly for PBS America in the UK now, cheers.
One other question, on the guide all I get is PBSAMEF, (I think the “F” is really an “A”, but is cut off), should it carry the logo as well?

Thanks again.

@sa2000 can we highlight the issue with the channel logos not working for BBC1 HD regional channels?

I’m also seeing this but it could be F for Freeview as well. Some other channels also show the same:

  • JEWMAKF
  • YESDYPF

Whilst some end with FV:

  • QVCBEFV
  • QVCSTFV
  • BLZEFV
  • BLZP1FV

It should and did before the recent line up changes. I am also missing the logo for:

  • 072 - Jewellery Maker
  • 074 - Yesterday +1
  • 101 - BBC One West Midlands HD
  • 287 - Wion HD

The following are also unreadable:

  • 037 - QVC Beauty
  • 038 - QVC Style

All working now, thanks :slight_smile:

Just the BBC1EMHD logo needs setting at some point

Lets give Gracenote some time. Adding new channels has a sequence of actions they have to go through.

There’s lots of “To Be Announced” in the EPG over the next week for ITV HD, Channel 4 HD and Channel 5 HD. Postcode SO15.

It’s been like this for a while. Any idea when this will be fixed?

I can only speak for my own setup (Freesat TV Guide). As of this morning, I am yet to see any To Be Announced.

Not sure if a fix was implemented or not, would be great to hear it a fix was applied so I can relax on recording shows manually!!

Hello,

Just adding my sauce here: I am seeing tons and tons and even more tons of tons of “to be announced” all over my channels (German cable TV, Vodafone). This has been happening for weeks now, and it’s killing my scheduled recordings.

Same issue here. More an more “to be announced” airings. All having the right start times and duration, but the title is always “to be announced”.
Refreshing EPG does not seem to fix it.

EPG-Region: “Magenta TV Sat”

Also have seen this on NetCologne, but actually (2 weeks in the furture) more less …

Int the UK you see “To Be Announced” on the Freeview feed but go direct to the Freeview site (https://www.freeview.co.uk/)


and their guid has the correct information.

The funny thing, Series are grouped…
1171 Episodes of “to be Announced”
all on different channels.

There have been various reports of the “To Be Announced” issue since April 26th but they have been consistently ignored.
Thankfully I can use https://emby.media/ to record those scheduled programmes that Plex is not listing!

I am another with “To Be Announced” problems. Still plenty of gaps popping up across various channels.

I’m UK. OX area postcode.

EDIT: As of 10am UK time on 18th May. 520 Episodes of To Be Announced throughout my TV guide.

I am from Germany getting TV via Cable and using Unitymedia. I have a similar problem.
Some selected shows show “To Be Announced”. The error looks randomly.
For example, the news show at 8PM every day. Sunday to Friday everything OK. Only on Saturday is displays “To Be Announced”.

Not been ignored. I have an open issue on this with our EPG ingestion team

I don’t have any information on that. I have escalated the problem to get it looked into

That is expected. The TBAs are used by Gracenote for airings for which they have no details at the time. It is normal to see them for airings that are 10 days or more in the future. They should get corrected and replaced by actual program data that becomes available nearer the date/time

Are you making use of the “Limit to Channel” advanced setting ? and have a lot of recordings scheduled using that setting?
