Channel Moved - How do I fix?

#1

Post by n4mwd » Thu Apr 27, 2023 2:12 am

The local MeTV station switched channels. A new channel "DEFY" is now broadcasting on that channel. WMC still shows the MeTV logo for the old channel.

The new channel shows up in the EPG after I added it by editing the channel list in WMC. However, the new channel does not have any guide listings.

In EPG123 Client, the channel shows up unchecked on the left side, but does not show up on the right side even if I check the box on the left side. I tried rebuilding the databases and Save&Apply, but nothing worked.

Is this a EPG123 configuration problem or is the problem with Schedules Direct?

Check https://tvlistings.zap2it.com/. The guide data on that site is directly from Gracenote which provides the data to Schedules Direct. If you see the same thing there, then Gracenote data is incorrect and you should submit a ticket with Schedules Direct to get it corrected.

Thanks. I went to zap2it and the channel is not there. I submitted a ticket and the guy said he was working on it.

The original Channel (now DEFY) still has the old MeTV logo. The new channel for MeTV does not have a logo but does have "MeTV" in text where the logo is supposed to go.

Is the logo handled by SD or do I need to do something?

That will be fixed in next release to be automatic. For now, you can change the logo manually. https://garyan2.github.io/logos.html

Thanks, I'll have to wait for SD to get the lineup fixed. I'm not sure why its taking so long. Usually they are much faster with these things.

EDIT:
Zap2it is now working, but SD still seems to be leaving out the new channel. It shows up on the left side that is scanned, but does not show up on the right side which is from SD.
