Assigning a schedule provider

[csadoian]

I was under the impression from my conversation with the person at Schedules Direct that there was a difference between the Comcast and the OTA listings for that channel ... but I may have misunderstood him.

Currently, after H&I changed their program lineup on 3/31/17 the lineup I am getting from Schedules Direct has the right listings, but they are 3 hours ahead. H&I has both East & West feeds, and I suspect whoever provides the listings to Schedules Direct did not account for that. Makes it difficult to record a program with the proper description/program Id.

Thanks for looking into it.

Both lineups have this channel as Schedules Direct "stationID" "77607", so they've definitely got the same listings. When applications get listings from Schedules Direct, they effectively say "give me the listings for station 77607 for period x to y". ie, there is nothing to do with which lineup etc - "77607" is what uniquely identifies the station to Schedules Direct, and the listings associated with it.

I've asked Schedules Direct to check it.

As a quick workaround can he take the H&I station out of his non OTA Schedule Direct lineup?

If you mean go to Schedules Direct and edit out the H&I station from the Comcast lineup, I tried that, didn't seem to make any difference.

Besides, it seems that regardless of the lineup being the one from OTA or from Comcast, they apparently originate from the same master list on Schedule Direct's servers.

In the meantime I have changed the OTA channel 7.3's lineup to be DVB/ATSC EPG, which means it will have about 8-10 hours per day of listings obtained from the local station's EPG. I record two shows in the early morning hours, so I will have NextPVR refresh the schedules at 12am. I created two timer events based on this data, so I think it will work until Schedules Direct can fix their lineup for H&I.
