Hello
I'm having issues grabbing EPG data from TV.com. I'm getting an error message saying :
Unable to update channel Home & Garden Television (East) (HGTV)
[Critical] Generic syntax exception:
[Critical] message:
[Error ] no index page data received from Home & Garden Television (East) (HGTV)
What am i doing wrong?
Great, thanks Blackbear199 for your support. Will give it a try when i'm at home tonight. What was wrong in the tv.com.ini?
Thanks, Bear. Solved my problem as well.
Thank you from me as well!
Tried this and now getting some channels but most just give "no shows in indexpage!" It also now deletes the contents on my tv.com.cookies.txt file. Am I missing something obvious?
V2.1, Windows 10

I used 30301 and DirecTV with local channels to generate the cookies file. I'm now trying a cookie file I found in the forum edited for that zip and provider and it seems to be working better. It's still scanning, hopefully this will be OK now - here's the log in progress.
I'm actually in the UK, so maybe the cookie file I generated has a problem, I've attached the created and downloaded cookie file if it helps anyone
Hi Blackbear, where is the best place to grab USA channels from, in particular the sports, never done it before, cheers
True Blackbear199, more and more sites are hardening their servers so epg cannot be grabbed. Another problem is that every user is grabbing also daily, instead of grabbing like every 3-4 days, so a server can have thousands connections all togheter, which is not what these sites want.

not really an ini i use tbh,just thought id point out its base 64, could it just be added to the channels.xml?
is it the secure url in the javascript?

no but you can use the website to choose channels by id
