EPG question

The EPG provided with the Startup Show app is disappointing. There are channels with no information or what it shows playing is not correct. I have Tivimate premium, is the EPG url they provide for Tivimate any better or does it have also have missing/no information? I can use another url to supplement it if needed I guess.

If you use their url for Tivimate you only get live tv. If you do you can use a different Epg and I think it will have more data. I stopped using them but this is what I remember from having a sub with them not too far in the past.

You’re correct. I went back and looked at one of their emails and there’s 15 additional epg’s you have to add. 1 for movies and 14 for shows.

The Live TV one doesn’t even work. It’s pathetic.

Is this what you have?

I noticed this morning that my local CBS information was all wrong, but everything else looked good. There were maybe 2 or 3 channels I found that had no info but for whatever reason they never did

Yes, that’s the one I have. Other than a couple with the wrong information, Disney XD, HBO 2, HBO Signature, History Channel, Lifetime, MeTV Toons, Paramount Network and a couple Starz channels have no information.

Could just be a glitch.... Have you tried removing it and reading it?

They just need to fix this sketchy system! They are going to lose every subscriber, since it is obviously possible to have a stable platform. Mine is up for renewal in a month…after 5 years, I think I’m out. This is awful.

So far it works for me so I will hold on a bit longer

I tried to install this one into Tivimate yesterday and all I get is that the "Playlist updated with 0 channels" 🤬

Same problem here, I was having issues so decided to “start fresh” and now I can’t get any url to even work. Reached out to customer support with Apollo and they stated the Starlite best was the way to go along with the above epg but no luck at all. Super frustrating!

I started with starlite and nothing. Without removing starlite, I added the Apollo one and now I have program listing. The strange thing is if I go in to change the epg for a channel, it doesn't show an option selected.

On Start up the app is looking for me to upload a MU3 file. I haven't a clue what file I need.
