I'm using a custom channel too for LocalBTV and the field for the EPG is empty. It's been working fine.
Edit: Is there a way to get more than the 92 channels? This is so freaking fun!!! Thanks for the help...my issues is that I copied the url incorrectly.

Keep in mind that you should filter the list of channels and keep only the ones that are part of your TV market.
If they see that people receive channels from other markets, that will be a red flag and they may start adding DRM to the streams. Just saying. 
Ok. Thanks! Do you know what I need to do In order for guide info to show up?
Leave the EPG field empty. Just provide the URL and that's it.
You may have to recreate the custom channel with a slightly different name. If you try to edit the current one and clear the EPG field, it may not keep the edit. There seems to be a bug.
Go into lin-up in channels and map the channels with The grace notes stuff.
The images and listings are excellent.
The guide data stopped working for me. When I attempt to download that xml file this is a piece of the file it gives me.

Any idea what might be causing this behavior?

This is a thread about LocalBTV, which provides local channels in some markets... local channels.
The XML file sample that you posted contains channels that are not local channels, such as A&E East, A&E West, AMC East, AMC West, BBC America East...
Whatever list you are using in your custom channel is wrong and is not for LocalBTV.
I used the following link which was posted to this thread back on 4/11:
https://iptv-org.github.io/epg/guides/us/tvtv.us.epg.xml
If there is a better xml guide link can someone please post that one? Thanks!
If you're really just getting your Local channels (LocalBroadcastTV), there is no need for an epg.xml.
Just map the guide to your local channels.
If you're talking about something other than LocalBTV, it belongs in another topic or forum.
