It seems like there are a number of DD problems going on right now so I<br>hope this one isn't a duplicate. It's definitely not the "too generic<br>show data." Although I am affected by it, a fix appears to be in the
<br>works. My problem seems closely related to the "no listings for OTA<br>digital channels" problem, but not exactly. Just to make sure, I<br>deleted all my video sources and recreated the digital lineup on zap2it.
<br><br>The problem is that after 4/14, there is no data for most of the digital<br>stations. However, I still get listings for CW (primary) and NBC<br>Weather Plus. My zip is 02215 and I am on BU cable. I added all the
<br>XMLTV ID's by hand and it's been working for years. One thing that<br>might be relevant is that subchannels have never been listed for BU<br>cable. What I have been doing is adding the XMLTV ID's for the
<br>subchannels from another listing, 03062 Broadcast. Another thing is<br>that CW in HD was only recently added to the lineup. Prior to that, I<br>was using an XMLTV ID from 03062 for that also.<br><br>Foreign ID's from 03062 Broadcast:
<br>36037 (PBS HD)<br>31703 (NBC Weather Plus)<br>50830 (CW The Tube)<br>Until recently: 32633 (CW)<br>Now: 11659 (CW) which is native to BU cable<br><br>I might expect the case to be that DD would no longer download data for
<br>channels that weren't part of the lineup specified for the video<br>source. In that case, I would expect no data for NBC Weather Plus, CW<br>The Tube, and PBS HD, since those are the XMLTV ID's that I copied from
<br>somewhere. In all cases except Weather Plus, there is in fact no data.<br>I might also expect to get subchannel data only, if my foreign XMLTV<br>ID's were somehow masking the native lineup data. However, I get some
<br>combination of the two. I get listings for the CW, which is native, and<br>NBC Weather Plus, which is foreign. But, as I said before, CW in HD was<br>only recently added to the lineup. Maybe that has something to do with it.
<br><br>In any case, when I deleted the video sources, all the existing program<br>data should have been deleted as well. That means that even with my<br>weird mix of ID's from different lineups, DD was able to get data up
<br>until a seemingly arbitrary date, 4/14. Why can't it get it through<br>4/17 and beyond? There is data for the scores of analog channels, and<br>for the previously noted digital channels. Why not...<br><br>PBS SD
<br>PBS HD<br>CBS<br>ABC<br>NBC<br>FOX<br>CW The Tube<br><br>?<br><br>I should add that I can tune to *all* my channels without any problem!<br>So it's not a problem of missing/bad tuning data or anything like that<br>

Also they have never had the listing for my PBS-HD channel. I sent them an e-mail and got no response. but now I finally have the PBS-HD listings. But still no Fox.
<br><br>Hey DataDirect, If I must to have one missing channel, please set it back to PBS. Although I will now be enjoying the excellent TV show NOVA.<br></div><br></div><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>_____________<br>Ryan Patterson
