I'm very grateful to the free*EPG team for their excellent service and apologise in advance if this has been answered elsewhere (I haven't had any luck searching).
The listings for the SD channels are fine.
Problem: the listings for the HD channels only specify differences from the SD listings; entries for programs common to the corresponding SD channel just contain a '?' or 'No data' (I forget which).
What I want to do is get the Vista Media Center guide to show full listings for the HD channels. Does anyone know how to do this?
Actually for combined SD/HD feeds, you need to select the Free-To-Air Digital (epgStream.net Free*EPG) option when setting up your guide, not the (ozTiVo.net Digital) version.
I could be totally wrong but I was of the belief that the HD guide only listed shows that were actually HD, so if you see the ? then the show is not HD and you can record the normal SD channel.
This is the point. I would like to record the HD broadcasts, but the HD listings just show '?' where they match the SD listing. If I attach the SD listings to the HD channels in the VMC Guide then I won't see the listings for the HD only material. There must be a simple solution to this, I must be getting something basic wrong.
I solved this issue myself by switching from the OzTivo data to the FreeEPG data, which concurs with what epgStream said earlier in the thread.
Was working fine for me while on the FreeEPG stream until yesterday - after a power failure and losing all channels and scheduled recordings etc, I thought I'd take the opportunity and give the other stream a go again - I found exactly this problem with big empty spots in the HD data. I switched back to FreeEPG data stream, and all is working well again.
(still missing data for the regional HD's e.g. Win HD, Prime HD, but am not complaining - besides in reality from observation, they appear to just be the same as their SD counterparts except some programs they skip and play the HD demo footage for a while)
