Channel Setup Woes

Can you let me know the zipcode and lineups you've added? I'll add those to my account so I can try it here.

If you don't want to post this info, you can PM it to me.

Sorry...Lineups are Direct TV Satellite Wilkes Barre and USA OVer The Air Antenna

Thanks. I can reproduce it here.

Do these channels have the correct listings? I think what is happening is that behind the scenes Schedules Direct is using the same station ID for "22 - WYOUDT" and "22.1 - WYOUDT", so when you view the properties of the channel, it finds that station in both lineups, so just shows you the first of the two possible mappings it represents. If that is the case - just don't worry about it. ie, you're getting the correct listings for the correct station, and its just a cosmetic issue.

Yes. the listings I am being shown are correct.....thanks so much for looking into this for me. So, if everything is working fine, just ignore this then ? I am unsure if Schedules Direct has been working this way in the past or not..It is possible I just never noticed it

Yeah, nothing is actually going wrong. It's just the same station is in both lineups with different name, so can't know which of the two options you meant. ie, it never stores the lineup and channel you selected. It only every stores the ultimate station id you choose for the mapping. They're both the same station, with the same listings, so it doesn't really matter.

Once again, I thank you

If I may ask one more thing please: Last night, after emptying and updating the EPG multiple times, there were still random channels showing "no show detail" in the listings.

After giving up and going to bed, when I woke up this morning, all of the EPG data was available......is that normal behavior for Schedules Direct for it to take that long to update the EPG data ?

There are two types of EPG update that occur. 1) automatically overnight, or 2) when you click the Update EPG button. If you're manually kicking it off with the Update EPG button, then you'd expect it to have full listings a few minutes later when it completes. If after it completes you're getting missing listings in place, you can let me know and I'll check. It's possible you just struck Schedules Direct having a problem or something. Usually their listings are very reliable.
