Free-X TV EPG is early

leecovuk's Photo leecovuk 13 Apr 2011

Hello again,

It seems the programme schedule for Free-X TV is accurate. However, the EPG is listing programmes 2 hours earlier than they are actually being broadcast.

eg
a programme 'Explosions Part 5' was shown in my receiver's EPG as starting at 0300
but actually started at 0500.

Thanks,
Lee

Yes,

On the website the schedule is given in GMT time, and I did not taken this into account.
Fixed

Hello Willy,

The 2 hour error is still happening at the moment.
I assume the changes you made will not appear until tomorrow?

NB The channel references still need updating as per my post in the Adult Channels topic.

Yes, be patient.
Normally corrections only take effect the next day.

Additions can take a bit longer as we have to edit the channels file as well.

Hello again,

A time shift now seems to have taken place. However, the schedule today seems wrong.

The bottom line seems to be, if you're using sat-erotic.de for listings, then that site is unreliable.

Again today, the listings for Free-X and X-Dream seem correct on:
http://www.inxworld.com/index_h.php

So, my suggestion is, if you can't use
http://www.inxworld.com/index_h.php
for Free-X and X-Dream, then stop providing EPG for those channels.

I hope this helps,

On further inspection, there are in fact scheduling issues with the inxworld site. (For X-Dream, today)

I have contacted both inxworld and sat-erotik.de in an attempt to find out what is going on. Otherwise I / us will be forever going round in circles.

If I hear anything meaningful, I will post back.

In the meantime, neither site is preferable to the other.

I suspect the only answer will be to forget about supplying any EPG for these channels. Obviously, no EPG is better than a seemingly random one.

I know it's possibly only me who cares about accurate adult channel lists, but anyway, here's an update :

The guy operating sat-erotik.de has been very cooperative.

He confirms that his listings for
Free-X TV
and
X-Dream TV
are taken from inxworld.com
Some of his have not been matching theirs, but is making his listings match inxworld as we speak.
(although that in itself is no guarantee of accuracy)

So, sat-erotik.de or inxworld.com should be more or less as good or bad as each other for Free-X and X-Dream.

Please note that the timings on sat-erotik.de are GMT/UTC+1.
If I notice his time zone changes, I will let you (Rytec) know.

If the websites are not correct, then we have no chance of having a correct schedule.

Yes, indeed.

To summarise for now;
Assume sat-erotik.de is correct for Free-X and X-Dream (and any other adult channels you may be sourcing there)
Just be aware/check that the listings on sat-erotik.de are GMT/UTC +1.

Rytec recently put in place my latest suggested ref changes for some adult channels.

New adult channels have started which may change many refs / sources again, which I will leave a week before investigating.
