Channel lists with Schedules Direct incorrect

[camaroguy99]

Ok, now that I got my issue with the IR blaster fixed, I'm still dealing with trying to get Schedules direct setup. I went through the wiki and de-slected all the channels I did not want on the SD site. Then upon importing them, they were all still there. A little more time on the site I found that when using JSON, you have to manage the channel; list in the client and not on the SD site. Is this true or is there a way around it?

The reason I ask is there are over 1000 channels in the direct tv Los Angeles guide and a number of them are flat out wrong or mis-numbered. In the end, I need only about 200. This is going to take forever if I have to uncheck each one as I go though the channels, then repeat the process EXACTLY for the second HDPVR.

The erroneous channels are causing NPVR to try to tune to a channel that does not exist so I can't just leave them in there.

TIA for the help

FYI, unfortunately Schedules Direct's new API (that NextPVR moved to recently) ignores any channel selections you've done on the SD site. Instead you have to manage it in the application itself. ie, select the channels you want from the full list for your line ups. Schedules Direct have talked about updating their new API to honor these channel selections, but they haven't done it yet

Updating the website is on the TODO list. I've been busy integrating AU / NZ data, and there are just so many hours in the day.

I have 6 tuners, once i got my channel list correct on my 1st tuner, device setup copies that config to the others so long as they are empty... takes a while the first time but then you're good to go
