How to Migrate to Schedules Direct?

[EnterNoEscape]

If it has a station ID and it still shows No Data after an update, most likely no dates are being returned from Schedules Direct or the dates being returned did not include today. I would enable SD logging to verify that no dates are being returned and if that's the case contact SD to fix the data.

I was thinking to examine the lineup on the website (sd website).

So examining the SD-DD Lineup I see channels 40 and 41 do not appear. Yet they do via the SD-JSON Lineup (apparently because SageTV finds them - and yes they are valid because SageTV can tune them).

I guess an email to SD support?

Edit:
Support ticket entered.
Wonders never cease....apparently a low power broadcast in my neck-o-the-woods.

Being able to tune the channels and having a station ID are not the same thing. If SageTV mapped it wrong (even if the channel is a tunable channel), you're not going to see any guide data.

Edit: Of course it's also possible the channels need to be added to the lineup on the SD side of things for you to have a valid station ID.

Per SD Ticket I submitted....

I've started the process of updating the lineup and will let you know when it's complete.

I tried to switch to SD EPG feed. But I keep getting the error "you must provide a postal code that is valid for your selected country" even though my code is a valid one (for 15 years). I tried other codes, from friends, work, etc. Same error...

Disable the verification. The RegEx being used is provided by Schedules Direct and is seems that sometimes it doesn't work all of the time which is why the skip is available. The reason we keep the check is because if you do get it wrong for any reason that wouldn't validate, it doesn't prevent the regional lineups from showing up and frustrating someone in a different way.

I tested your postal code on the most recent release of SageTV and it didn't give me any trouble. Are you on the latest?

Try upgrading to the latest 9.1.5

Installed the latest, without more success

I then disabled the verification and I can go through now :-)

The program guide is now populated. Just waiting for the upcoming recording list to come back to life

thanks for your help

They've simplified it down to just a single entry now -
doesn't actually affect operation in any way - it's just so Schedules Direct has an indication of how many people are using what software.

Don't. Schedules Direct support is built into current versions of SageTV. The plugin was for SageTV v7 (and some early versions of v9).
