No sub channel guide info with rovi
« on: August 12, 2015, 10:07:40 pm »

Anyone else not getting anything from rovi through mc2xml except say 6.1 (but not 6.2 or 6.3 for example)?

It's working okay for me.

Are you in the US?
Are all sub channels missing guide data or just a few?

Did it ever work properly or is this a new problem?

So the sub channels are found in the tuner scan but the channel EPG data is missing for some channels.
In the mc2xml setup/popup window, I assume you are selecting Microsoft (not Microsoft Legacy), then there are several guide types to choose from like Broadcast, Sat-lineup, Cable, etc. Have you tried changing the sources? Lastly, check the option "-F" if you haven't tried that yet.

Im using microsoft as the source.  Ive tried about half of the options.  Im between Cinnci and Dayton and ive tried both of those with the same result.  I even tried adding another EPG option of OTA to see if that would pick up the sub channels atleast in part with no luck.

If you don't mind posting your zip code (or PM me to keep it private) I can try setting up my system for your postal code and see what I get. Although I don't how valid this test would be since I can't scan for you local channels (I'm in FL).

You are using "Over-the-Air" correct (not cable)?

What model Tuner card are you using?
