New EPG and release

How can there be an “issue” with the addition of a nationwide network to a DMA?

What kind of guide data provider is this?

The new station, 4.2 DECADES, is in most major markets in the US. If the provider can’t even add a major station to the DMA feed then why in the heck would you use them? What a train wreck.

@DrSmith

Similarly, how can these major networks disappear from a line up and not be restored immediately? This is nutty! I’m still waiting for these:
727 Weather Channel
744 IFC
783 Disney
784 Freeform
Any news on when they will be restored? They have been missing from my line-up since 10/01 (and had improper guide data from 9/15 - to 9/30 before that). Sorry for being a pain on this, but it makes no sense. Major networks in major metro areas should be easily fixed in our guides.

These problems are at our end in how the data from our provider is processed.

The loss of channels is thought to be because those channels did drop out in some regions and that affected other regions.

We are changing this process and these changes are at the moment being implemented in the development environment and will be allowed to bed down for a few days to make sure there are no adverse effects before being put into the live service.
