No Data

[Steve52]

Due to this channel change thing that is going on (FCC thing I guess) I deleted my OTA tuners last night and then added them back and rescanned for channels. All the channels are there but the guide is mostly "No Data". It did not clear up overnight, so this morning I did the properties delete of the SERVER_UPDATE_ID and EXPANDED_UNTIL numbers that follow these. In the past that would fix the guide, but this time it seems to have had no effect. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I really don't understand post #40,and the other SERVER_UPDATE_ID and EXPANDED_UNTIL clearing doesn't work.

There are files that start with sdmd5 in the SageTV directory. Shut down and delete them. They act as a sort of cache/index in to what guide data is already downloaded.

I found the two files, closed sage, deleted the two files, and then restarted Sage. No change. Some schedule program data, but almost all time slots and channels are still "No Data". I noticed that when I restarted Sage the two files did not reappear in the Sage directory.

Looks like I got it fixed.
When you don't do this stuff for years it is easy to forget how it all works. It seems that I somehow deleted my "Line Up" for local OTA broadcasts when I deleted my OTA sources. When I went back to re-add the OTA tuners I used the DirecTv lineup because it was the only one showing up at that time, which of course will not work. I deleted the OTA tuners again, added a new lineup for local OTA(which I had previously deleted) and added the OTA tuners back again. This time the guide data was there.
