Montreal - Canada - TV Guide incomplete

Post by robertofelix »

Hello, dear HDHomeRun Support

I'm based in Montréal, Québec, Canada.
Due to the distance from the US, we can get the following channels:

2.1 CBFT-DT
5.1 WPTZ-HD
5.2 Story
5.3 Me TV
5.4 IonPlus
5.5 QVC
6.1 CBMT-DT
10.1 CFTM-DT
12.1 CFCF
15.1 CKMI
17.1 CIVM
29.1 CFTU
31.1 WNNE-HD
33.1 VPBS
33.2 VPBS+
33.3 CREATE
33.4 KIDS
35.1 CFJP-DT
47.1 CFHD
62.1 CJNT

All channels from the US have no TV Guide. I'm missing some channels from Vermont since they disappeared in the last scan I made. By the way, I believe if the channels were caught during a scan, they shouldn't be deleted in a new scan unless the user agrees. Let them stay there even if the signal is weak.

Regardless, how can I fetch the TV guide for the American channels? This limitation of getting only the TV Guide for Canadian channels is frustrating since I didn't see it in any place about this limitation.

And finally, how do you determine which content I'm allowed to get? I see you have a DVR guide for Brazil. How can I get it, for example?

Are you using the HDHomeRun app? You should be getting guide data for all of those channels.

Hi NedS

I do have a subscription to get the TV Guide. I just got the updated XML with these channels I spoke about.
However, I'm wondering, I'd like to get the TV Guide from Brazil? How can I do that via an API call?

Guide is based on Device and it's lineup... no other lineups

You would need access to a tuner stationed in brazil, or one brought back from there and not updated it lineup.
