    Random EPG listings

    Hey Guys
    I am having a strange problem on some on my cable channels. Most of the EPG is fine and they are correct. BUt i have spotted 2 channels that seem to have messed up EPG listings. I can tell because they are blatantly incorrect when i compared them to the equivalent sky channel.
    For example

    Nat Geo WILD HD channel has some listings showing that the "The mentalist", "CSI: Miami" NCIS and some other random shows which does NOT come on this channel and none of these are listed on the sky version.

    Another channel is BT sport 3

    Some listings are correct and show what is actually on. Others are completey random. It says that Fishing is coming on at 16:45. Other random shows are
    Naval Aviation Documentary and secret of the Stonehenge.

    It does this every time i use EPG importer. It has done this for weeks now. Any idea why these particular channels are messed up when it comes to the EPG??

    Thanks

    the channel references that Rytec uses are wrong. Inform Doglover on PLI forum, there is a thread for Virgin EPG. He will need channel name and service references.

    I've been noticing this more and more using the OTA EPG. I thought it was due to cross updating the sky epg thereafter but uninstalled that and it still happens butt not as bad

    Going by your other post on the other forum, you have several sources of EPG data. Which is the last one to run?

    No.

    Deal with the issue properly. Let Doglover know the channel name and service reference of affected channels.

    To find out the service reference
    Select the channel
    Open up web interface on your PC
    Click on current
    You will find the service reference in the middle of the screen (highlighted in the picture here)

    You can then
    Select the service reference
    Right click
    Copy
    Open your text editor
    Paste it in your text editor

    Repeat for all your affected channels

    .... I see you've found it ok, although I don't think mentioning Hitler in your post was very diplomatic.

    Oh
    What was i supposed to do. I just gave him all the references for the channels affected. Sorry I mentioned Hitler it was just the most awkward programme on the listing that time.

    He can't fix what he does not know or what he cannot receive. Let him know name of every channel and associated service reference that is wrong and he will amend the channels that are wrong for you.

    The service references change, so you will have to let him know whenever there are changes. It is not as frequent on cable as it is on satellite.

    Oh does the service number change depending on the programme not channel?
