Thats what I figured but all new HD channels are blank in the guide? I have cleared pvr/guide and IPTV reset a few times?

You are using Viper's guide?

[cheesesand]

yes using viper's instructions

edit: its the same using pach's url for the guide as well.

Well, that's got me perplexed at the moment. Resetting and deleting the data (as you have), should have remedied the situation. I just checked Viper's guide and it loaded the HD channel information for me. Let me cogitate a bit... Meanwhile, let's see what happens with the next unforced update.

TV29.db is constantly changing (HD channels added + other modifications - additions/deletions of channels) - causing the .chl and .ren files to have to be modified in accordance. Viper - Is there any way you can automate this process so that you don't have to manually tweak these files?
Perhaps looking at the TV29.db file for changes on a daily basis and making the necessary mods to .chl and .ren files so that the guide.xml created created is always up to date with these changes.
This week alone, there have been numerous changes - mostly related to HD changes to channel names.

I think he makes the changes when he has time, like on the weekends. That is why some of the new HD channels are populated, while some of the very newest are not.

It would be nearly impossible to automate the process, since "the process" would have to know in advance what the service channel name is versus the source channel name in order to create both the CHL file and the more daunting REN file.

I just updated my channels, they were alot to update.....

ilan is there a way to get the list of the channels with its providers? that way i could load the proper channel list from schedulesdirect.org and get most of the channels populated.
just knowing USA channels are from sky New York for example would help alot.
so:
USA channels from
UK channels from
Canada channels from
latinamerican channels from
