EPG123 Removing/Adding Channel

#1

Post by Kevbo Kev » Fri Mar 03, 2017 9:44 pm

Whenever I try to remove the Standard Definition of the CW channel, it will also remove the High Definition, even though I never unchecked that HD channel. I was able to remove all other SD channels with no issues, but the CW will not allow me to remove the SD without it removing the HD. I even went back in and tried adding the HD version, and it went ahead and added the HD and the SD channel. Not sure what is going on. Tnx!

There are a couple things about how epg123 works to understand what you are seeing.

1) When you subscribe to a lineup, you are not getting the lineup ... you are gaining access to the stations in that lineup.
2) Each station has a unique stationId and that is actually what epg123 cares about.
3) When a station is selected, all instances of that station is selected in all lineups.

In your case, the CW on your SD channel and HD channel both have the same stationId. So if you select one, you get both. If the channels are truly different (one SD and one HD) then I would submit a ticket to Schedules Direct to get the error corrected. They should have 2 different station IDs.
