Channel in Lineup but not Guide

#1

Post by swethog » Sat Mar 21, 2020 11:16 pm

I've been searching around here but I don't think I know enough to speak to exactly what everything is called, but in the attached picture, I have a channel (Freeform) that is in the lineup but I can't figure out how to get it into the Guide. I figured there would be an empty 1232 on the left and I read about a "merge" but there's nothing there. I just upgraded from 1.1.15 to 1.3.6.10 hoping I could figure it out, but here we are. Hopefully it's a simple fix. Any help appreciated.

It appears to me you have deleted all your unused channels (left side) and now Freeform has no place to go. A typical install of EPG123 will leave you with 9999 channels on the left side. Of course most will be empty, but the channels will still be there for this case when the provider shuffles some channels around or adds some new ones.

You have 2 options:
1. Click the green '+' button to manually add channel 1232 to your lineup and then map the listing on the right side to the new channel on the left.
2. Perform TV Setup in WMC to get 9999 channels again. Feel free to delete channel ranges you know won't be used anytime soon (2000 - 9999 ?) If you do this, when it is complete, open the client and click the Match by: [# Number] button to map the listings to the appropriate channels.

That was it exactly. I had the window sized too small and did not see the green + symbol. All fixed, thanks!

Great program, love it.
