I set up the latest version yesterday, the guide was working OK and I had a green desktop EPG123 icon.

A schedules guide update was carried out this morning at 2am, and I have now found that the desktop icon is amber instead.

I have checked the log and can see warnings about a number of series...

So at some point a few weeks ago 3/21, all my series stopped recording. I thought there were no new shows, but it seems like all the series are missing from WMC. Any idea how this could happen? is it related to EPG123 or something else? Any way to get them back?

Hi all - I looked around the forum and couldn't find an answer so I'm posting here now.

I have an old Win7.0 MediaCenter box that I've been using since at least 2010 with an HD HomeRun networked CC tuner with three tuners here in NYC for TimeWarner/Spectrum.

Once the listings died, I immediately...

Gary, echoing what many have already said, thanks ever so for developing and maintaining EPG123! Your program (and the channel guide service it taps into) are a godsend for those of us stubbornly clinging to Windows Media Center.

After recently encountering my first (and only? Fingers crossed)...

I doubt that EPG123 can do anything about this but I'd like to throw the idea out there anyway. Quite often shows on AMC (and a few other related stations) will make available very short specials in which usually they amount to nothing more than a long commercial for the show. Rather than have an...

Guide is not updating with data after 30-Mar-2021.

Log shows the following errors...
Unhandled exception caught from epg123.exe. message: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: collection
The MXF file imported is 106.24 hours old.

Tried several reinstalls, reconfigs, etc, nothing is resolving...

Our local CBS channel on frontier FIOS Pomona channel 502 KCBS disappeared today, no listings and it's not shown in the Frontier Pomona channel list.
Any Ideas how to get it back?

I am trying to get 95076 Spectrum Cable - Gilroy (actually Watsonville but that is not in the list).

When I selected this I got an error. It said view log.

I tried again and the spinner spun for a while. Eventually it errored out.

Now the Lineups button is grayed out!

First try:

Our local station KRFT-LD has added a sub channel 8.10.
When I went to add it to Media Center it would not allow anything above sub channel 8.9.
I haven't upgraded to later versions since I first began using EPG123 slightly over a year ago.
I hate to take the chance of breaking it when it's working...

Over the years my solution for this was to simply ignore it . This error has always resolved itself within a day or two. This is first time I've ever received it for three days straight.

I can login to SD with my credentials so I know I'm at least able to reach their website and verify that my...

I have a PC that is always on set up to download the guide every day and various other PC's set up to import the mxf file from it in client mode. On some of the client PC's the scheduled task works fine every time, on some I get a could not start error every time. On those PC's that could not start...

Duplicate of Bounce on Ch. 22.2 is in schedule on 42.2. But actual broadcast on 42.2 (21) is Daystar Español airing Reflections program 24/7.

I can change the channel name and logo easily thanks to the EPG123 customization features. :)
What would be a good way to override the SD provided schedule...

What about splitting out garbage cleanup to it's own action item on the EPG123 task icon menu?
Reason would be not having to wait for garbage cleanup when manually doing an Update Guide Now.

My past 2 attempts to update epg123 have been flagged by the detection of the eldorado virus.

Infected object:
epg123transfer.exe

Infection name:
W32/MSIL_Agent.BVM.gen!Eldorado

Why is this in the epg123 program? Why should I disable my antivirus simply to update epg123?

Sometimes Gracenote will merge two episodes of a show in to a single entry (sometimes even more than two). This results in the appearance of missed episodes when you view your recordings sorted by title.

For example, there is a new show starting March 16th called Holmes Family Effect on Fox...

When I do a clean setup, the WMC shows my 2 tuners. After configuring the tuners on WMC and I close it, the EPG comes back and says I have 3 tuners (sometimes 4). How can I fix this?

Hi Gary, thanks to your excellent work, I’ve had a year or so of happy viewing on Media Center! :-)

I decided to do a clean refresh using the EPG123 Client (v1.6.0) Setup utility as a number of satellite channels had gone dead over the months. When running setup, MCE preloads the channel listings...

I've been using EPG123 ever since windows stopped the guide update. It has been working great until now. Every time I try to update the EPG, the EPG123 task icon is red with an error message and many random blanks throughout the guide. I contacted SD they said check with Epg123, It was suggested...

After having MCE since its beta release all those years ago, I have literally just moved over to EPG123, as the guide was finally doing my head in.

I am in the UK, and have a dual DVB-T and a single DVB-s2 tuners, and having subscribed up to 2 lineups in Schedule Direct, I am a little confused at...
