I am trying to pull channels for ZIP 33761 Tampa-St Pete (Over-the-air) channels but I am getting Bright House Networks, Clearwater (Cable) in my XML file. Does anyone have any idea why it is doing this. I'm posting the cookie, log file, channel XML, and INI file for reference.
Thanks in advance for any help.
I am exporting the cookie with chome and cookies.txt extension. Not sure why it isn't working for me. Am I able to use your cookie and xml file in my setup without issues?
Thanks for the help and quick responses.
Thanks for the tip.
OK, last issue. When trying to import the data into MythTV I am getting these errors.

How do I tie the channel to the guide data?
This may be something I need to post on a MythTV forum, let me know.
Thanks.
OK, so with MythTV it doesn't like the spaces in the name and uses xmltv_id on import. I changed all my xmltv_id's to the channel number and set that name in MythTV for the channel under XMLTV to fix the issue.
Last issue I promise :)
When pulling the guide I have about 8 channels that are giving me this error
[ Info ] ( 14/34 ) TV.COM -- chan. (xmltv_id=16.3) -- mode Incremental
[Error ] Unable to update channel 16.3
[Critical] Generic syntax exception:
[Critical] message:
[Error ] no index page data received from 16.3
[Error ] unable to update channel, try again later
[ Info ] Existing guide data restored!
I there any fix for this or do I need to start looking at other providers?
Here is the setting in the config file
<channel update="i" site="tv.com" site_id="69025662" xmltv_id="16.3">WUSF Create (PBS)</channel>
Thanks for the pointers. After beating my head against a wall for a few hours I finally figured out why the error is happening. They throttle connections and redirect you to a page that basically says slow down. Is there a way to delay the download between channels? I'm thinking that would solve the issue.
One other question while I am thinking about it. Most of my channels are OTA, but I have a few cable channels that I am picking up that aren't in the OTA guide. How would I go about pulling the OTA channels from TV.com as well as a few from FRONTIER? I'm thinking create a second cookie and ini would do the trick, just looking for a yes or no before I go through the trouble of figuring out why I can't seem to export the cookies correctly.
BTW, thanks for the help.
I owe you a drink :)
