Blank bar in guide, no data
I have a blank line (bar) in one listing in the guide, both in all channels and favorite listing. I can't get rid of it. There's no associated channel to edit, not in the guide or epg client. There's no "blank" listing anywhere that I can see.
Any help appreciated.

Hmm, not sure if I have ever seen this, but it appears you may have used the EPG123 tweak tool, so maybe that can be used to adjust some things (maybe change something than change it back) to see if that may fix it.
I really don't know, so maybe wait for someone else, perhaps Gary, who may know better.

I haven't tweaked it in a long time. Here's what I did:
I had to create a new channel, 1431, but ended up creating two then deleted both, retried and ended up with one. When there were two, there were two in the guide, one without data.
Attached is my lineups file if that helps.

Ah, OK, if it showed up after creating and manipulating a new channel than it is probably not related to tweaking.
If you go in to the EPG123 client tool and sort by channel number, do you see any channels without a channel number either at the top or the bottom of the list (or perhaps even next to the 1431 channel)? If you do, you can try deleting them from within the client.
To be honest this is a bit above my pay grade, and you might want to wait for Gary to respond before you do anything, particularly since he has a much better understanding of the backup files.

Nope, all looks good in client.

Don't know what is going on, but my restore of your lineup only shows the problem with your favorite lineup 'MY'. I don't see it in the all guide lineup. If it is just the favorite lineup, then I would simply suggest deleting the favorite lineup and create a new one.

Update: problem exists in the full lineup as well, between channels 1625 and 1627. 1626 is also one I added manually.
I subscribed to it in both lineups and the blank bar is gone in All.Unsubscribing and resubscribing in All, no issues - with 1626.
I guess I need to find which channel in the gap tha blank corresponds to in My lineup and unsub/sub to fix it.

1626 is working for me. The only thing I can think of is to perform TV Setup again within WMC and then open the client and click the Match by: [# Number] button to get guide listings back.

In client, I deleted all channels, opened WMC to see nothing, closed WMC, undeleted all channels. WMC ALl lineup shows no blanks.
No matter what I tried to fix lineup My, it got worse with more blank rows. So, I deleted it and recreated it manually. Now it's fixed.
