Can you post a screenshot of where this is happening

Sure. This is today's date and it's on every show in SamsungTV's EPG, regardless of actual premiere/original airdate:
If SamsungTV's EPG doesn't include this data, at least based on how the grid displays data from HDHomeRun and TVE sources, I'd expect for this field to be blank, rather than being inaccurate with today's date inserted regardless. Stirr and DistroTV's displayed EPG does the same. Pluto and Plex, however, display fine.

Just confirming nothing needs to be done in the EPGs that aren't using < date > ?

Correct just a display issue
Thanks for all your info. Regarding Herogotv, I now have all the channels and a fairly robust epg. But all my recording attempts result in the same error message---the channels can't seem to be found. Suggestions?

I had similar issues with Herogo, some channels worked, and some didn't. I think there are some georestrictions in place? I gave up on it. I already have many other free sources of (the same or similar) channels, so it wasn't worth the hassle.

Can you tunevto thevchannel succesfully and watch live tv?
Edit: i just loaded HeroGo. I tried loading a bunch of random channels. Only about half worked.

The XML for EPG for Stirr isn't working for me. The link works for the M3U for the channels but I'm not getting any guide data with the XML listed above. Does someone else have a working EPG link for guide data for Stirr I could use?
All of the rest of the M3U's and EPG's are working great for me, but I just can't get Stirr to work for the guide data for whatever reason.

I'd say your best bet is to use the Stirr URL's made available from https://nocords.xyz
With continued thanks to @HankLloydRight

My mistake for not clarifying:
That's the one I'm using and it doesn't work.

Hmm, that's odd. I'm using it too and it's working fine over here.

I was able to get it working. I completely removed it and then updated the M3U and XML again and it updated after a few minutes. Thank goodness!

All of the custom channels and EPGs that use “cutt.ly” URLs weren't working for me this morning.
I found this post on the Whirlpool forums which explains what's happened though. All of the individual cutt.ly links from the DeltaSr95 github were removed in favor of one large combined list. There is also an xml.gz link which provides pretty good guide data, I'm seeing channel logos and descriptions, but no poster art for movie/show/episodes. Can't beat the price though!
This combined (and only) list now includes the following:
DistroTV
LocalNow
WatchYour. TV
galxyTV
KlowdTV
Airy. tv
Veely. tv
Toon Goggles
SportsTribal. tv
Jungo+

Of course, be mindful that the channel list now exceeds 500, which is Channels' DVR limit for Custom Channel additions, so you'll have to prune it accordingly.

Ill login and modify original post tonight. Im still at work now
In meantime. M3u4u is your best friend for editing your m3u playlist. Its a free online editor.

Thanks for the reminder about this great tool. I'd tinkered with it a few months back but since none of my m3us were that big, and everything was working fine in Channels DVR, I didn't see the personal need for it. But now I get it!
m3u4u is a great way to take a "peek inside" an m3u to see what channels will be offered before integrating it into Channels DVR. Over time I've also gathered a rather oddball collection of (yes, free/legal) m3u's which made Channels DVR webUI a little awkward to manage so being able to consolidate and clean up my various list(s) is very welcome indeed.

I just tried loading the combined playlist. Without editing. It loaded 500 channels. So far it looks like its working.

Yes, channels is only showing us the first 500 channels. But m3u4u, my new "best friend," shows all 713. I'm personally interested in less than 100 of these though.

Can someone explain how to get the guide data working with the combined.xml.gz?
