TCM West guide data

Channels DVR Server
#1

Is there an option for TCM West when "searching all lineups" and adding it manually? I see a list of TCM options but not for the west version specifically. Channels like TBS have a separate option for a Pacific feed. Thanks.

For my Xfinity cable sub in CA (Pacific time) it uses this.
Turner Classic Movies HD
callSign:"TCMHD"
stationId:"64312"

I think TCM only has an Eastern feed. At least appears that way on their website schedule.

Thanks. I am in the east, and that feed works as expected. I am trying to get the west feed to also work, but no luck with the guide data. I tried creating its own source, and using a west coast zip, but that doesn't work, and I don't see a specific tcm west option. The movies are the same with a 3 hour delay, so it isn't really a huge deal. I may just remove the provider and go manual, and use it if I see a movie I like already started, I can record the west feed. Maybe a better workaround exists, but I don't know. Thanks again.

How are you getting a west coast feed?
All I see here is the one east coast feed on channel 6039.

But I do see both East and West here.

There is no guide data for the west coast feed

LOL. I know that now. I guess no workaround exists. Using a west coast zip screws up the guide, since I am in the east. I just removed all providers, and I can just record manually for that rare time I miss the beginning of a movie, and want a redo. Thanks.

No option to create your own guide from the East Coast one? Just add a 3-hour offset to all programs.

I guess it's simple on paper but obviously I don't know the technical details in the Channels code. :grin:

There should be a way to shift EPG per channel in minutes. I have an online feed 8 minutes behind OTA broadcast. How to schedule anything to record remains a mystery.

This is supported now.

I don't seem to see TCM Pacific in the manual dropdown list of channels for epg?

#11

It's not in the list. You can use est data and add three hours

#12

Thanks. Is that a new setting that I can't seem to find?

Not a setting, it's a tag that goes in your m3u
Add a tvg-shift tag to the m3u EXTINF line for the channel to shift the EPG 3 hours later, like this

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1 channel-id="TCMWest" tvc-guide-stationid="64312" tvg-id="TCMWest" tvg-name="TCMWest" tvg-shift="+3",TCM West
