UK Channel Issues - 19 DAVE / 25 YESTDAY and other EPG issues

What is showing in the EPG for these for you

I have American Pickers S11 E11 at 11:00 on Dave and 12:00 on Dave ja vu

A change went live this morning (UK/Europe time) that would address issues with not having the right regional BBC / ITV / Channel 4 channels by allowing the selection of the Freeview-National United Kingdom OTA Broadcast lineup and manually mapping the relevant BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4 channels from the drop down.

This is a temporary fix to allow for any regional OTA lineups that do not have the right regional channels. The channels will be presented with a channel number followed by -n where n is a sequence number.

Please note that this does not resolve issues with channel 8 for London Live or 102 for BBC 2 HD outside Northern Ireland

OK, so CF39 and v 1.15.8.1198 has not found TCC, but it has found the others (80’s, 90-'s, TinyPop). I’m downloading the EPG now so will check back with you in abut an hour.

Thanks for that, but can you please explain why it will build over time? None of the other channels have populated in this way.

Does this also explain the gaps in the next 24 hours where it continues to say “radio programming”?

I am sorry i do not have that information and I do not know how the data is accumulated by our provider. However - i am aware that all data is not immediately available. The issue with Paramount is still open with our provider and I have not had official confirmation of any fix yet - this time round.

Thanks for this update. Do you have any news on other channels. I am personally quite interested in the 1 hour error for 019 Dave and 079 Dave ja vu, and the odd incorrect scheduling in 105 Channel 5 HD, but I know there are many other channels of interest in this thread.

I am sorry - not yet. I will let you know when I have information

Please re-iterate the issue precisely for this channel.
I am looking at the channel now and sampling a few for today and they are ok

OK, thanks.

…I appreciate you are probably caught in the middle here.

…and looks like this…

I gave the exact error in the online form - can you dig that out? I remember it being OK for 95% of the time and then the odd film would be completely wrong which is why I gave the precise example (it’s too easy to give a cursory glance and think it is OK). I think the example was airing at 9pm last Saturday.

Also can you please check if 104 Channel 4 HD is still missing episode info (again stopping the DVR from recording) correctly or meaning you had no clue which episode you were watching if it did record - cheers.

thanks,
J.

@sa2000 OK, here are examples for both channels:

104 4 HD

  • is still missing the episode information (currently only shows the date of broadcast as its identifier.

105 5 HD for 19:00, Sat-13th

  • Freeview: “Secrets behind Egypt’s Sacred Sites”
  • Plex: “Secrets of the Egyptian Pyramids”

105 5 HD for 20:00, Sat-13th

  • Freeview: “The Thames: Britains Greatest River…”
  • Plex: To be announced:

105 5 HD for 21:00, Sat-13th

  • Freeview: “The 80’s: Most Shocking Celebrity moments”
  • Plex: “The Thames: Britains Greatest River…”

I have just “To be announced” for all three of those 5 HD shows on 105 in Plex (Freeview OTA Anglia).

I’m Freeview Meridian/Central OTA Broadcast.

[edited because I am an idiot]

Even after a full manual guide refresh ? (Settings / Server / Live TV & DVR / Refresb Guide)

After a full manual refresh, my Plex EPG now matches @JCHH. I’d assumed that the nightly automatic refresh was working … I guess not!

@sa2000 Even after a full refresh here in South Wales for Wenvoe, ITV Network is still showing and no ITV Wales in the drop-down menu after refresh.
Paramount is now showing ok, but haven’t checked on the PC yet as I’m out, will see how far the EPG goes

Dave

be careful. It is showing, but I have found wrong shows in there…

Are you referring to my note here UK Channel Issues - 19 DAVE / 25 YESTDAY and other EPG issues - #230 by sa2000 and re-creating the DVR with this lineup
Freeview-National United Kingdom OTA Broadcast ?

I just tried it and it is showing

Oh no no no!! @sa2000 why the… No I’m staying calm, packed in smoking a few days ago… But why do we have to delete the DVR then recreate it when it would’ve been easier t to add it to the regional lineups?
I’m sensing a Tvheadend and antennas coming on just to make things easier for me as trying to remap 3 devices is a bloody nightmare, just as Plex itself as become one!!

I’m not happy at all, when refreshing the lineup should’ve been the easy route… Argh!! I need a cigarette now!!
