Our program guide data provider (Gracenote) will be phasing out “Local Broadcast Listings” lineups in Australia and Europe—including the United Kingdom—and the DVRs will need to migrate to other lineups.
For Canada, Gracenote will be removing the Analogue TV Stations in the Local Broadcast Listings lineups with only the Digital stations remaining as all of the existing transmitters are now digital. For the rest: Australia and Europe, the change is made to replace lineups with provider specific lineups - e.g . Freeview for UK and Australia.
DVRs that are currently set up with any of those Local Broadcast Listings lineups will continue to receive program schedule updates as usual, however, they will no longer receive any channel additions/removal /changes as we will no longer get those from Gracenote. To get the latest updates of included channels, you will need to migrate to another lineup by going through the DVR setup. Here are some notes to help with this migration.
-
Australia: The new lineups will be named “Freeview - [region]” where
[region]refers to the region. e.g. “Freeview - Melbourne”. -
Canada: The new lineup continues to have the same title of Local Broadcast Listings. The update will happen automatically. If you had any analogue stations selected, you will need to go through DVR setup “xx enabled” channels link and re-match any dropped channels to what is now available .
-
UK: Choose the Freeview lineup (instead of the previous “Local Broadcast Listings”) when going through the setup.
-
Belgium and Poland: These countries will be affected by a further EPG data source change - see also Changes to DVR Lineups and Program Guide source for Belgium and Poland - Sandbox - Plex Forum
-
Rest of Europe: The new lineup titles will vary - see the list in the table below.
Notes:
If you use the “Limit to Channel” advanced setting for recordings, these scheduled recordings will need to be deleted and recreated after switching lineups.
If the DVR is deleted and recreated and the Local Broadcast Listings lineup that was in use before is no longer maintained, you will be forced to select the alternative lineup from the list of lineups available for your area.
