Did SD lose most of my lineup?

Something really whack at SD last night or so? Almost all the channels disappeared from my guide, EPG123 unmatched almost all my channels (I though I'd turned that off...). Opened a ticket with SD. The GUI shows a much shorter list now...

There's nothing in my error log file when I updated at 1120 GMT. What version are you running? I had put in protection against this in version 1.1.x that should have aborted the import.

Still on 1.0.0, is stable and have had no time to investigate update. No errors, just most of the data was gone:

In the epg123.exe GUI show the entire lineup now, or missing all your channels?

IMPORTANT: If the channels are missing in your lineup still, do NOT click the Save or Save&Execute buttons. It will overwrite the cfg file with the channels missing and when it comes back you will manually have to reselect them for download.

If all your channels are back, a manual update may restore everything for you.

Already checked. They're missing in the GUI as well, and I had presence of mind not to save that.

If you have a Time Warner lineup, Gracenote set many old lineups to expire around 4/7. (I forgot the name for it, basically a "great rebuild")

Specifically, set all *channels* in a lineup to expire, but the lineup was still there. I know I sent an email to folks using SD-DD, I think RobertK did the same SD-JSON.

Robert just refreshed the lineup at SD side, and channels now appear. FYI, this is Comcast, 80528.

I'm getting "The expected number of stations to download is 154 but there are only 0 stations available from Schedules Direct. Aborting update for review by user." on 1.1.0 and I'm also on Comcast. I opened a ticket with SD.

EDIT: Fixed in less than 5 minutes by SD! It looks like EPG123 aborted properly too, nothing was messed up in WMC.

Looks like something happened last night, so I'm refreshing lineups on the server now.

I have the same problem - 76182, Charter Communications Fort Worth. I went in and redid my lineup and it's still only pulling in a few channels. Logging into SD and pulling it up on the website has the entire list, though. I went ahead and submitted a report on SD's website.

:clap: Hopefully there aren't too many holdouts that haven't updated to 1.1.x. This happened around end of September last year which prompted putting that protection in place.
