Portland Oregon area still doesn’t have Metv Toons programming.
I have notified zap2it and Metv itself with no success.
I noticed it does show up on TVGuide (TV Guide, TV Listings, Online Videos, Entertainment News and Celebrity News - TV Guide), so maybe find out where they get their info.
I am having the same issue with MeTV Toons isn’t showing up on my program guide in my area in Western Pennsylvania. For me it is showing a channel called Rewind. I also tried contacting MeTV without success.
So, this is an automated reply that I got when I updated the ticket I filed a couple of months ago-
I understand your frustration with the missing programming information for MeTV Toons (29.8) and THIS (8.5). Our guide data provider has recently become unwilling to work with us to add missing guide data for stations. This has been very frustrating and disappointing for both us and our customers. We are currently exploring other alternatives to ensure that customers have listings for their entire channel lineup.
Maybe contact TVGuide to find out where they get their programing?
I think TV Guide is their own provider. They and Gracenote are the two primary as far as I know.
Interesting. I did a quick Google search. For the 4th Generation Tablos They use Gracenote according to their FAQs. Here is the email to get in touch with them about TV schedules and meta data. gn.tmscheduleATnielsen.com just change AT to @.
“Our guide data provider has recently become unwilling to work with us to add missing guide data for stations.” Wow, how crazy is that? Hope you find a better provider soon.
BTW, my guide in Phoenix does show MeTV Toons, however, the data isn’t accurate, so it’s pretty worthless.
The local Charlotte station added Oxygen, which has Snapped, a true crime show. No programming. I assume the issue is the same with the above stations. My workaround is probably the same as yours. I logon to the Oxygen website, look to see when Snapped is OTA and set a manual record. Works, but…
I was browsing my Legacy 2 Tuner Tablo and I noticed that MeTVToons was show up even though the channel said REWIND in the Guide but it was showing toons. So I decided to look on the 4th Gen Tablo and lo and behold MeTVToons was showing up in the Guide info.
In Sacramento the guide on my TV is several hours off. Zap 2 it shows the correct shows at the correct time, on the wrong channel.
On the Legacy, the only way to update the guide name is to do a rescan.
@andyross Yeah I figured that would be the fix for the Legacy one. I will do a rescan of the channels at a later time.
