Don't understand channel management
Posted: Sun Jul 09, 2017 3:34 pm
There are three channel listings. Can someone please describe what they all mean? Why is it so complicated? Why can't I simply manage a single list of channels, and check the box if I want the channel to appear in the guide? Also, there is an issue with channel 501 described below.
By the way a better UI (IMO) would be two panels, with one being a list of channels that should appear in the guide and another being the channels that will not appear in the guide. You could drag and drop channels between the two lists. There would be no notion of "(Un)Subscribe".

- Lineup tabs in EPG123 server
I assume whether a channel is checked in this list indicates whether to get the channel
listings from Schedules Direct. I have 501 checked.
- Lineup Services in EPG123 client (right pane)
I would think this corresponds to the selected channels in the server.
But it doesn't. I see many channels in this list that are unchecked in the server list. You can "Subscribe" to
channels from this list. I don't see 501 in the list.
- Guide Channels in EPG123 client (left pane)
Are these the channels that actually appear in the guide? I checked 501 (but "Service Name" and "Subscribed Lineup"
are blank) and 501 does show in the guide, but with "No data available". You can Unsubscribe to channels in this list.
"Subscribe" is an always-grayed-out option. Why is it an option then?
