EPG Update Problem - Is it Schedules Direct or Me?

[Pochrist]

Nothing on my System or anything has been changed but tonight I can't get any channels listings in the TV Guide, I reload the EPG multiple times and still no change, I've restated the PVR, no luck.... Is it SD or Me?

Well as I said I didn't change anything on my end, I did set up the Yap2itXML free schedules down load (when SD was having issues) , but I siwtched back to SD last thursday (9-14-07) and eveything was fine then. I'm attaching my logs cause it appears I'm the only one with this problem.

I submitted a ticket to SD and they said the problem is on my side.

So Here are my logs, can some on tell me why I'm haiving this problem out of the blue?

Had you ever gotten SD to work? Or is this your first attempt to use it?

It looks like you still had some existing channels from the XML EPG. If you scroll through the channels on the guide, do they get to a point where they start repeating?

[Ted the Penguin]

did you apply the patches from the survival thread?

[Pochrist]

Yes weeks ago..., like I said Nothing has changed. I was recording fine for weeks straight, it wasn't till last night that I have this problem.

If only I could see it. the only thing I see when i go to the TV Guide are empty slots all saying "No Channel Data" or something similar... Its very strange, my shows appear to be recording fine, but if I want to just goto the TV guide to see whats on - I'm out of luck. I did notice another strange thing last night at 9:45pm I loaded up the old GB-PVR interface I went to see if the TV Guide worked there and it showed me the my next scheduled recording (The Dead Zone) at 10pm on channel 38 and a bout 5 channels below it, from 9:30pm till 11pm everything else was blank :confused:

I'll point out this is Fresh install of 1.016 (done weeks ago) not an upgrade / update, I uninstalled the 1.008 version, deleted the directory, cleaned out the registry and then installed 1.016. I set up all my stuff again manually and applied all the fixes in the Survival guide. This was running like a charm till Sunday.

I wonder if the Yap2itXML is conflicting with the SD (I read that Yahoo just kiiled that channel data recently or something), I don't have any tuners using it, but the Directory is still present in the GB-PVR sub directory.

Have you gone to Schedules Direct to check your account? I missed an email from them, and they suspended my account on Saturday, September 15th.

They changed their privacy policy, and I had to agree to the new one.

The stations that show "no channel info" are for stations that I don't want information for. I have digital cable but I am not paying for any extra stations (and to complicate matters, I have the descrambler hooked up to the TV and not to the GBPVR). Thus, in the Schedules direct lineup, I only selected the stations that I can watch using gbpvr. I don't want to know what is on pay for view and I particularly don't want to record static because I didn't notice that the show was on a station I don't get.

However, when I added schedules direct to my "capture source" in the config panel, it added all of the digital cable stations, including the ones I deselected on the schedules direct webpage. I am reluctant to try to delete the excess stations from the config panel now because it is working well now and I messed things up the last time I tried that.

All this to say, I suggest you check the lineup selected in schedules direct on their webpage and the channels showing in the channels tab of the config panel to make sure they match. Because of the timing, there is a possibility that you still had your former zap2it listings but may not have set up your new capture source for the schedules direct source.
