ksooo made a change to not load the database on the start up imports at a very late stage in Matrix development https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/18970. As noted on this thread for Matrix I added a feature to update the channels when notified of a back end change. In combination it it is great for people with reasonable guide date or for people who keep their PC's turned on. The obvious quick solution is not to use crappy OTA data.

Triggering an EPG update in NextPVR will also do it. You can also look at tweaking the EPG advancedsettings.xml to trigger reloads on empty EPG data more often.

Because of the last minute change I decided against adding the complications of a state check for this since most PVR users have good data and they will benefit. The core doesn't notify the backend of the last time it was checked, so I would have to manage this somehow. I also don't know if the core will load the EPG on startup or not so I do want to avoid loading it often.

I will also wait to see how users of all PVR handle this since it won't be a NextPVR specific issue. If it troubles a lot of users I think this should be addressed as a core option to bring bring load at startup.

How do you get the NextPVR guide in the backend to update automatically?  My backend is a Win 7 Dell pc, and after twelve hours or so the guide in my Kodi frontend (Firestick) disappears.  I've already tried clearing the data from Kodi in the PVR Guide settings.  In the top right corner of the Kodi screen it will say that the guide is being imported, but no guide ever does import.  I have to physically go over to my backend and update the EPG in the NextPVR settings so that it can become visible in my frontend.  Any input would be greatly appreciated.

If you only get 12 hours of data that is expected behaviour and has nothing to do with Kodi or this thread.  You can configure multiple updates a day in NextPVR but you need to be running Matrix to have those trigger and EPG update.   These can be disruptive.

If you are using a tuner avoid the OTA data and get Schedules Direct is well worth it.
