Guide data missing for one channel

#1

Post by ronaldo47 » Mon Dec 11, 2017 5:17 pm

I have been using EPG123 for a number of months and it has worked flawlessly except for one minor problem. I have Comcast and in my area 673 is the Olympic channel. It has never shown any guide data. The call sign is the same in EPG123 setup as in Zap2it (OLYHD) but no data downloads. Now that the Olympics are getting near I would like to get this resolved. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks for your help.

I just downloaded schedule data for OLYHD. Are you sure you are downloading the station and it is subscribed? Try using the client to unsubscribe and then subscribe the station. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work.

Thank you very much. Previously I was using EPG123 and the station appeared to be subscribed with the correct call sign and channel name. However, when I used the Client I found that the call sign and name were blank. I did an automatch by number and the call sign and name were filled in properly. When I downloaded the guide the data for this channel was now included. Thanks again!
