EPG download problems: Known working ZIP codes

#1

Post by woodyl » Mon Jul 27, 2015 7:09 pm

Based on the discussion around the EPG data cutover, many people are having problems getting their systems set up with the new guide data from Rovi. We believe that part of the problem is that data is currently only available for a limited number of ZIP codes, but we have no way to determine which ones are working. I want to start a thread where people can post ZIP codes that are known to be working with Rovi data. To make sure your data download is working, please go to Tasks>TV>Guide>About Guide Listings and confirm that your see "Portions of content provided by Rovi Corporation" and confirm that you have End Date that is somewhere beyond today's date. If that's correct, please post the ZIP code you're using to get your data and the name of the area.

I have successfully used:

30318 Atlanta GA

Others have reported these to be working:

48197 Ypsilanti MI

I'm in Anaheim, CA. Couldn't get anything until late Sunday night. Zip: 92804.
Time Warner cable. Running Win 7 64 htpc with NO updates for many years. Only used for Media Center.
Changed to recommended hosts file, ran ipconfig/flush and reset tv signal and after many previous tries over period of days, it loaded. Hope this helps someone.

I can't find any in Orange County either.

Can someone post any working zip codes for Time Warner in Orange County?

68522 (Lincoln, NE) Omaha OTA and Lncln & Hstngs-Krny OTA Antenna (you can just select Omaha OTA listing and not go back and risk putting in an Omaha ZIP Code)
68028 (Omaha, NE) Omaha OTA

I had to use 68522 first and then was able to get 68028.

The data downloads, but some of the OTA channels are missing data. GuideTool fixes that easily.

Always worked: OTA 43214. Be careful of which lineup you choose, though. It offers two, but only one worked at the time.

It syncs up perfectly with the MSN schedule on the web. That's not to say it's perfect; it's missing a bunch of movie names, although it has the times punched out correctly. But it just says "movie".

97124 Hillsboro OR
97006 Beaverton OR

Both on Comcast. Had to use 97006 first as 97124 refused to download. 7 days later 97124 started working.

Zip 28150 (Shelby, NC) on TWC is successful but had to follow the instructions here (http://www.thegreenbutton.tv/forums/vie ... f=5#p93129) to get it to work.

98019 Duvall WA (Seattle) guide data is better. All OTA channel lineups appear correct, but guide data is not 100% correct.

Hi,

Howell, MI (north of city) 48855 works.

Lansing, MI 48915 works.

I use to get guide data for all three markets, Detroit, Flint, and Lansing since I live where I can tune most of those in with my roof top antenna. Now with Rovi I only get data for the Detroit stations. Any ideas on how to inspire Rovi to adjust a zip code like mine to include more than one TV market?
thanks, Keith
