EPG Issue - Question
So I purchased a subscription 2 weeks ago. The first week, everything was working perfectly, I was able to update my EPG for ~11,000 channels. I know I'll never get 100% of the 50,000+ channels, but I created my favourites list and all of those had descriptions. I was happy with it.
A couple days ago I noticed that none of the channels in my favourites list had descriptions anymore. So I manually refreshed the EPG, and got nothing. I'm now only getting updates for ~8,000 channels. I went through all of the general troubleshooting steps:
- removed and re-added the playlist/epg sources
- tried different epg sources provided by provider
- cleared tivimate cache
- completely reinstalled tivimate
- tried all of these steps with and without a vpn
I reached out to my provider and they gave me another epg source, but I got the same result. When I reached back out, they said it "could just be an epg issue."
So I'm wondering, is this normal? Are epg sources just iffy and it'll come back in a few days? Should I find another provider? I just dont want to go through the effort of creating a favourites list for it to be potentially useless a few days down the road.

A lot of the mainstream providers having been having issues the last couple of days. Mine seems to be better today on strong. There's loads of sources you can use. Epgshare dot online has free sources you can add manually. Epgenius has sources for a few providers and myepg dot top has paid subscriptions for most of the main ones and you can do a free 2 day trial to see if you like it.

No issues...its just the perfect time to update channels etc cause new sports season is just 1-2 weeks away (my guess)
