Missing Channels in TV Guide

cad · 2009-06-11, 06:09 PM

I'm missing many channels in the epg. I'm using schedules direct. I tried emptying the epg and then updating but that didn't work. Should I try a reinstall?

Are they listed in your lineup on the schedules direct website?

Just check that you have them selected on the config channels tab.!

Yes. The channels are listed and have a check mark in the configuration.

I just checked schedules direct site and the channels are listed there as well.

Hit the 'update epg' button in the config app, then zip and attach your config.exe.log, and a list of some of the missing channels.

Ok I just realized that the channels are really there but GB is not listing them properly. The channels are 4 digits but the guide only lists 3 digit channels. Is there something I can change in the config to fix this.

EDIT: Doh!! It was the skin I was using. I'm testing on my 19" monitor and I guess it's not wide enough. I switched back to default and I can see the channels fine now.

New problem. Well a irritant really. It takes some time for the programs propagate to the lower channels.

What do you mean exactly? Give an example.

When I open PVRX2 and TV Guide I can see the programs of the first 50 or channels right away but if I scroll down several pages I have to wait for the programs to propagate down. It takes several minutes for all the channels to show programs. If I don't exit GB it's fine though and I can go to TV Guide and all the channels will have programing. When I'm done testing I'll have it in my ent center and will permanently on so it's no big deal. I was just curious if this is how it's supposed to be or it's my problem. Thanks for the quick response sub. And thanks for a great product.

Some US users with tons of channels had noted it being slow to load, and its fixed in the next release. You can fix it yourself in the mean time with the addition of an extra database index as described here: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=40466
