I got 2 issues:

I use the epg collector and it starts at 5:00 am and it runs every days, it works fine.
but in the evening when i watch live tv the guide gets suddenly empty.
The last couple of days when i start to watch live tv...

Hi fellow WMC enthusiasts! :D

I live in Australia where EPG123 can't be of service due to the unavailability of SchedulesDirect guide data, leaving me at either the mercy of IceTV or the OTA EPG. While WMC can pull in guide information from the DVB-T signal over the air, the experience is...

'Tried looking around the postings, but I can't find a solution to this.
I have W10 pro running WMC just fine on two PCs using latest EPG123 with HDHR Freeview in the UK. This combination is just great, and I donated a couple of weeks ago. I have one small problem however - when I include a signal...

This may be a dumb question but here is my problem. I lost my working 8.1 MCE so in the treacherous process of trying to get it working again, I have gotten stuck with EPG123. If this is the wrong forum, oops! The Host side of EPG123 does not run correctly. The whole right side of the gui with the...

I searched a lot in this forum before asking...
Does anyone know how to import a script (XML, I think) into WMC to schedule the recording of a single show?

I am using a Hauppauge WinTV-quadHD tuner card for OTA shows, and TitanTV for a program guide. TitanTV generated a .TVPI script (sample below)...

Hi.

I cloned one of my computers onto a different hard disk on 13/12/2020 and other than a bit of a delay in WMC doing anything, the PC is working normally.

While investigating the slowness, I discovered that the mcepg database is constantly being read/written by mcupdate and has grown by almost...

Is it possible for a lazy person such as myself to setup WMC on a new, nearly identical, machine with a drag and drop of a directory tree on the old machine to the new machine? Perhaps after installing epg123 on the new, but not running through the WMC and epg123 setup?

There are two HdHomeRun...

If you're like me, and you want to continue to use WMC, but you don't want to pay for guide data then here's what I did to get Guide Data for free into WMC.
I was surprised to learn that there wasn't one complete set of instructions to describe and explain how to get free TV listings. So for the...

I can only get THE CW in on sd channel not the dt channel. Even add missing channel for KSCW-DT does not work as the channel shows up in 4:3 not 16:9. Have four tuners, 2 wintv 950's and avermedia dual atsc. Tried channel scan with only one tuner at a time and still can't get KSCW-DT. Tv's have the...

Hello,

For long months now, I use MCImportXMLTV to get the guide in MCE. But since few days, the program doesn't work anymore and I don't know why.
Do someone have the same problem ?

Thanks

Sometime in October the about guide listing stopped showing up under the settings/tv/guide. Anyone know how to get it back? I have over 70 recorded shows I don't want to lose, so I don't know what to try.

After the FCC repack my market has channels only in the 7-13 (VHF High), and 14-36 (UHF). There are no channels in the 2-6, and 37-69 range and I do not see this ever changing.
Is there a registry tweak or something to set/restrict the WMC Set Up TV Signal and Scan for More Channels to only 7-13,...

Hay,

Can anybody explain how the WMC epg guide works?

Since a couple of weeks i have issues with the guide listing, no listings in the guide, some days there are listings and some days not or incomplete.
i'm a WMC user since 2006 but had never this issues.
My configuration:
Windows 7 pro PC...

epg123 v 1.4.10.10. WMC on Win Pro 8.1 64bit
For past few days scheduled and manual updates all fail. WMC guide now down to 12 days of listings of my single digital cable lineup. Forum contains several reports of same error code over the years. Followed posted recommendations, eg, cleared cache,...

Here in the UK, I have three very old, much loved and used, Vaio XL201s, each running the last version of W7 Prof 32bit and updated regularly up until when the updates stopped in January. I mess around with each of my PCs a little - but only to keep them up-to-date, scanned and running smoothly....

I've tried using EPG123 Client to create guide listings from HD Homerun but nothing happens. If I use Client setup it goes thru all the steps til I get to step 3 Configure EPG123 and it asks do you wish to proceed with HDHR2MXF? and a command window opens briefly and then closes with an error...

Just got a new Cubs baseball channel, 202, added to my Comcast system.

On my other TV, with an X1 box, it was just automatically switched on . On my Win 7 HTPC with WMC & a Ceton card, nothing yet. Punching in 202 does nothing, probably 'cause it's not yet in the SD guide.

What should I do to...

I would swear I've either asked about this before or seen it, but right now I'm stumped and haven't seen it anywhere (probably I'm blind as a bat). I am happily using epg123 and WMC on Windows 2004, and have set it up again on another TV, apparently successfully. There is one difference.

In WMC on...

I have WMC installed on Win10. I'm using EPG123 to capture the channel guide.
All was working fine for about a month - both viewing and recording - when suddenly the local ABC Network disappeared from the guide. I've reloaded the guide several times and it still doesn't show up. I also reset the...

For those who don't use a guide, every now and then we get the following dialog:

Guide listings will be out of date in fewer than 3 days. Select Download to get the latest Guide listings.

How to disable that dialog, for those who want to remain Guide-less?

I searched the forum, and found...

So I've been using EPG Collector the past few days, to collect EPG listings from OTA broadcast metadata, and it seems promising.

I was wondering, would folks be willing to run the program themselves and share a sample of how much data is available in their markets? It wouldn't affect your existing...

I REALLY didn't want to start a new topic on this. Expect it is a well known issue , probably without solution. I tried searching with every combination of terms I could think of but had no luck. This operates in a logical manner since a guide triggered recording is (I expect) recording by...
