Changed to ATSC and have listings for tonight. Most channel listings stop at 1am so not a good option for scheduling recordings. Time to try Plex again.

I don't have much confidence in the TV Guide company. A few years back they abruptly quit providing guide service for broadcast stations. This completely bricked an expensive Sony DVR that I owned, which was designed by total fools without any means of the user setting the date and time. So while it was possible in theory to manually set recordings, it involved complex calculations to convert the real date/time into the DVR's erroneous date/time. This clusterflock was what caused me to start using EyeTV in the first place. I don't understand why EyeTV is not constructing any schedule from the basic EPG data broadcast by the stations. It is supposed to do this and has done this in the past when the guide subscription ran out, so something is seriously amiss. It may be possible to schedule EyeTV programming using the free TitanTV service, but I have not really tried to get this working. It is at least possible to look up local schedules, though manually setting recordings will not be any picnic.

The TVGuide EPG has apparently had problems for weeks (e.g., people not able to sign up or extend subscriptions). I hope I'm wrong, but I think we are screwed, and our EveTVs are now junk.
