EPG returns ONE hour of programming

[ddferran]

I go into "config", and click on "update EPG" and I get one - exactly one - hour of programs.

I started seeing this early August. I originally thought it was just the last dying gasp of Zap2It, so I paid my $15 and joined SchedulesDirect - same problem.

Here's the logs, but below is the error you'll see when you read them. I see no way to "change" my "format". I've downloaded all the new DLLs from Survivor's Guide thread, too trying "Shotgun Approach". (BackendCommon.dll, PVRx2.dll, NativeUtilities) Nothing works.

I remember your other thread about this. It sounds like the TMS servers (used by both zap2it and schedules direct) doesnt like something about you or your machine or you internet connection or something similiar. I've not heard about this problem affecting a single other user.

Have you tried using the standalone xmltv client utility to see if it can download your listings? You can get it from http://www.xmltv.org.

Alternatively, if you want to PM me your email address/password, then I'll try it here to see if I get the same thing.

Or you can use the documentation here, that will also use the xmltv client sub mentioned, including instructions for installing in GB-PVR

I see there is the follow response to your question on the schedules direct forum:

The good news is we've seen this problem before and know how to deal with it.

Tell us about your network set up... Have you changed the MTU or other settings on your PC or router? The problem occurs when packets break at a certain critical spot. Try making the MTU bigger... 1400-1500.

Does this occur all the time or only around midnight UTC?
