In the UK, lots of problems still with the EPG Freeview OTA London Powered by Plex EPG.
Can I ask a question to Plex, are you only resolving issues that are reported via your EPG report issues page i.e. will only be looked at if reported?
Could you also tell us who your EPG provider is, for the UK and US?
3 STV
103 STV HD
are both known issues that have been referred to our provider for lineup
Freeview STV Central OTA Broadcast
33 is correct as STV + 1
As noted in another thread, STV issues appear to be resolved - but my system is currently hanging creating the new DVR
Freeview Anglia OTA EPG seems to have issues for the following channels:
Plus many radio channels showing âRadio programmingâ (though some do have correct listings).
âNow 80sâ and âNow 90sâ channels not present in the EPG at all.
Looks like this is fixed now, and back to the old functionality. - Joe
I literally just (2200 on 4 July 2019) updated using the STV Central OTA guide and STV / STV HD are giving me ITV London, so itâs not fixed for everyone. 009 and 115 (BBC Scotland) also not workingâstill showing âRadio Programmingâ
The Talking Pics thing is infuriating. When they were correctly listed as movies, you could search by actor (eg Stanley Baker, Dirk Bogarde). Now that the guide thinks all these movies are TV shows, this functionality doesnât work anymore.
ETA: Yes, I reported via Google Docs
Same here
@sa2000, do you know when this will be fixed
Because yesterday I set up a new recording schedule for Eastenders and today it is still displaying âno upcoming airingsâ - but there is a new episode coming on in 5 minutes.
I think I just figured it out. Change it from HD Only to HD Preferred.
I removed all the SD Channels from my guide listings so hd only will be recorded anyways. Now its showing all shows to be recorded. Otherwise it sayd no upcoming airings. Been trying to figure it out for weeks now!
WEll itâs going to be a rough weekend - looks like it wonât record the first Fifa World Cup game today - no matter what the heck I try.
REALLY think a âmanualâ recording option needs to be available ASAP to let people work around the EPG issues until thatâs 100% resolved. At least a work around being available makes life easier!!!
I may have to find someone who got a good recording and have them upload it to my dropbox. I can record Sundayâs fine, but it seems that todayâs game is listed as July 3rd, so maybe it thinks it is in the past?? what a pain in the butt.
For BBC programmes in the meantime, try: https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer
@hugothehippo Or there is TVHeadend and Antennas on Linux to grab the EPG, this I may use over the next couple of days and hope for the best that it picks up all the radio stations here in South Wales, I know it picks up all the TV channels, which is great!!

Still major issues with the EPG for me. Buzzr, H&I, Bounce, Retro being the worst with almost every episode of every show listed as new. But even the Major networks have issues like Judge Judy Season 19 (2015) on Fox being marked as new.
I have deleted the DVR and re scanned several times over the past couple of days and donât really see an improvement. Thankfully Emby is picking up slack for me.
I feel bad for complaining reading how bad you UK and other countries have it. But there it is.
I have the same issueâŠvery frustrating
I had a look at my settings for the scheduled recording that Iâm trying to get to work, and it was already set to prefer HD.
So I played around with other settings, and I was able to get this weekâs new episodes of Eastenders to appear in the recording calendar by selecting âNew and Repeat Airingsâ - which shouldnât have worked.
Letâs see if it actually works
@sa2000 The new Eastenders episode on BBC1 successfully recorded this evening after I updated the scheduled recording to ânew and repeat airingsâ - it doesnât schedule a recording when it is set to âNew airingsâ.
Another issue, is that the saved recording was given with the wrong episode number - S35E24
The correct episode number is S35E109.
Are you aware of these issues?
Same Issue here with the episodes being marked as New. I had upgraded to 1.16.1.1246 and then went back to 1.16.0.1220 version before July 1st and upgraded back to 1.16.2.1297 on July 5th.
One example I can share is âLast Man Standingâ this past Sunday they still recorded correctly because they still showed the correct season and episode, as below: (and they look like they are correct that way through next Sunday the 14th)
But now starting on the 16thâs episodes look like this:
Back to the calendar date and the title of the show, not the specific episode metadata.
Also, when I upgraded to the first version (1.16.1.1246) with the new program guide, it had âThe Three Stoogesâ season and episode data correct, which the old guide never had. So I was ecstatic. When the most recent version came out, it was broken again, but I just looked now and it actually looks correct again? If you fixed it, god bless you!
Still one huge CF!
Still not fixed five days later. Iâve just deleted and re-added my guide, using Freeview STV Central OTA Broadcast.
Wrong mapping
3 STV - ITV National
103 STV HD - ITV National
No guide data:
8 Thatâs TV Scotland - To be announced
49 True Movies - To be announced
54 Paramount - Radio Programming
83 Now 80s - To be announced
84 Now 90s - To be announced
91 PBS America - To be announced
96 Forces TV - Forces TV Programming
99 Smithsonian - Radio Programming
115 - BBC Scotland HD - Radio programming
Incorrect guide data:
19 Dave / 72 Dave Ja Vu - content is flipped, with Dave content appearing on Ch72 and Dave Ja Vu content appearing on Ch19
66 / 67 / 72 CBS Channels - Because no episode content is being pulled for the majority of the programming across all three channels, and eps are therefore being given the date / time airings with generic series info, all eps default to ânewâ.
81 Taking Pics - all content showing as TV shows, not movies
Actual radio programming is a joke. The only BBC Radio stations with any information are Radio 3 (703) and Radio 5 Live Extra (706). Of the commercial stations, only Smooth (718) and Classic (731) have info.
I can confirm that this is essentially the same for Freeview Yorkshire OTA
