Hi,
I use Directv.com to grab info for some USA channels and would like some advice on what zip code i should be using.
i have a cookie and its all working apart from a few channles:(these are the default ones in the channels.xml)
<channel update="i" site="directv.com" site_id="2145" xmltv_id="EPL 491 HD (EPL)">EPL 491 HD (EPL)</channel>
<channel update="i" site="directv.com" site_id="2146" xmltv_id="EPL 492 HD (EPL)">EPL 492 HD (EPL)</channel>
<channel update="i" site="directv.com" site_id="2147" xmltv_id="EPL 493 HD (EPL)">EPL 493 HD (EPL)</channel>
<channel update="i" site="directv.com" site_id="2148" xmltv_id="EPL 494 HD (EPL)">EPL 494 HD (EPL)</channel>
<channel update="i" site="directv.com" site_id="2183" xmltv_id="EPL 495 HD (EPL)">EPL 495 HD (EPL)</channel>
however with my zip code my channels are as follows:
<channel update="i" site="directv.com" site_id="491" xmltv_id="EPL 491 HD (EPL)">EPL 491 HD (EPL)</channel>
<channel update="i" site="directv.com" site_id="492" xmltv_id="EPL 492 HD (EPL)">EPL 492 HD (EPL)</channel>
<channel update="i" site="directv.com" site_id="493" xmltv_id="EPL 493 HD (EPL)">EPL 493 HD (EPL)</channel>
<channel update="i" site="directv.com" site_id="494" xmltv_id="EPL 494 HD (EPL)">EPL 494 HD (EPL</channel>
<channel update="i" site="directv.com" site_id="495" xmltv_id="EPL 495 HD (EPL)">EPL 495 HD (EPL)</channel>
what Zip code do you guys use to generate your initial channel list? when i create mine unsing a zip code its totaly different and it would be cool to get the same channel listing as the default one so i dont need to keep updating my channles.
Thanks
Jamie
Hi,
can you tell me a zip code that you used and i will regenerate my channels.xml file using the same zip code as you?
Thanks
Jamie
hi
i just went to https://www.directv.com/guide?lpos=Header:1 and used zip code 10001
when i create my channels.xml i get the EPL ones wiht these codes
<channel update="i" site="directv.com" site_id="491" xmltv_id="EPL 491 HD (EPL)">EPL 491 HD (EPL)</channel>
<channel update="i" site="directv.com" site_id="492" xmltv_id="EPL 492 HD (EPL)">EPL 492 HD (EPL)</channel>
<channel update="i" site="directv.com" site_id="493" xmltv_id="EPL 493 HD (EPL)">EPL 493 HD (EPL)</channel>
<channel update="i" site="directv.com" site_id="494" xmltv_id="EPL 494 HD (EPL)">EPL 494 HD (EPL)</channel>
<channel update="i" site="directv.com" site_id="495" xmltv_id="EPL 495 HD (EPL)">EPL 495 HD (EPL)</channel>
is it because in am in the UK when generating the Channels.xml
i have saved the cookies and it works but always gives me the above the the EPL channels
HI,
so from what you can see my channels are ok?
i am just curious as it once worked and generated the EPG but then stopped.
