I was wondering if Garbage Cleanup takes over 45 minutes to complete for other people? Is this indicative of another problem? Should I manually run a Garbage Cleanup through the command prompt more frequently?

I recently updated my WMC PC to Windows 10 and then spent several hours combining FreeView and FreeSat channels. For some mysterious reason I’ve lost the FreeView “Yesterday” channel and not wanting to start over again would like to add it back in manually. But, while EPG123 Client has this...

I have two Win 8.1 systems that I have been running with WMC and HDHomeRun Prime. I just added an SD Flex 4k so I could hook up a tuner. The install went without a hitch on one system. On the other I wasn't so lucky. This system was at EPG version 1.2.5. I downloaded and installed most recent...

Hi Gary,

Is there any advantage to using your 8.9.1 MCE installer instead of the stock Microsoft 8.1 Media Pack version?

The BBC have launched regional HD variants of BBC One in England. These new channels will have new call signs and station IDs.

Unexpectedly, Scotland also got a new call sign and ID despite the existing regional channel remaining unchanged. It looks like SD provided listings under both the old...

The local MeTV station switched channels. A new channel DEFY is now broadcasting on that channel. WMC still shows the MeTV logo for the old channel.

The new channel shows up in the EPG after I added it by editing the channel list in WMC. However, the new channel does not have any guide listings....

For some of my systems, the EPG does not show my TV stations. I click on login to the Guide service and nothing happens. the internet is working fine on the system. Below is my log file for it. What is wrong? This has worked with no issues.

Gary,

I was running/updating a browser on my Win7 system at the same time that the daily guide update was running in the background (I rarely do anything on this system other than WMC/EPG123), and the guide update failed (for the first time in a while).

Hi,
A couple of unrelated questions about epg123:

- 6 ATSC 3.0 channels were recently added in the SF Bay Area as part of a KRON repack. These are not showing up in my OTA lineup (95032) in the epg123 server app. The changes went live on March 29. Should these show up given they are 3.0 versions...

First thing, I apologize if this has been asked but I couldn't find anything related to this topic.

Every time I open EPG123 and close it (without changing anything), there's a popup that says There have been changes made to your configuration. Do you wish to save changes before existing?

I am certain I didn't make any changes; not even recently. How can I find out what it is that it wants to...

I've been running the same version of EPG for some time now and had no issues. But recently I've been seeing certain channels have no guide data available then I noticed these odd messages in the last log. Do I just need to update EPG and it'll start working as expected again? The odd messages to...

My new PC has 2 SSD HDDs. I use the primary C: drive for OS & applications; and a less expensive D: drive as my temp\scratch disk; which I can easily replace.

How can I move the below data folder and all its contents to my D: drive for EPG123 to use? I really don't want to wear out my primary...

I use to use My Channel Logos to incorporate my custom logos in the guide. Being that the the program is no longer supported, I've been trying to get EPG123 to include my custom station logos. I moved all my station logos to the EPG123/logo folder. All logos appropriately match the station call...

Have had EPG123 up and running for several years now, with no issues (after my initial dimness of how to set it up). About 6 months ago, started seeing liveTV issues on the DVB-S2 card, where sometimes the signal would be there, and sometimes not. Last week, I had enough of the randomness (I would...

Apologies if this has been covered before, but I'm getting There was an error during update . I was able to get EPG123 to refresh after I cleared cache (pressed the 'Clear Cache' button) and Save & Execute the refresh of the guide. I have just installed the latest epg123 1.7.3 and renewed my...

Hi Gary,

EPG123 has been running fine on my system for 6+ months and it's been a perfect set-and-forget guide solution until today I realised guide data was missing.

I tried hitting the service URL at and it didn't work, then I tried locally, and it was the same. Going to the server and hitting...
