Missing Guide Data for OTA channels

[GernerGuest 1]

I'm missing guide data please help or advise on a workaround my setup:

TV Source-HDHomeRun FLEX DUO,  Emby guide data- USA-OTA49946,

The missing guide information also replicates on HDhomerun software.

Channel Guide information at  https://www.titantv.com/   has the missing correct data if this helps at all.

Channel lineup with missing guide data:

5.2 WBKP-DT2, ABC 

6.4 WLUC-OUT, OUTLAW

6.5 WLUC-DT5, OXYGEN

19.6 WZMQ-DT6, COURTTV

19.7 WZMQ-DT7, ION

19.8 WZMQ-DT8, DABL @ebr

So why do you think this is an Emby problem?  Does the HDHR app use the station info or the same data source as Emby?

I think almost everyone is ultimately using the same source.  Of course, the ultimate source is the networks themselves but, even then, most "services" are channeled through the largest one which is Neilsen.

Is this the process I should go through if there are channels without mappable guide data, making a post in the community with channel numbers, etc.? I'm located in 14612 and there are a few OTA channels that don't show up in the Emby Guide Data. Some of the channels are available on TitanTV, like the original poster, but some channels are not available there either. For example, 6.6, 6.7, and 6.8, shown to be missing in the emby image below, while Titan does have 6.8, but not 6.6 and 6.7, as in the next image from titantv.com.

You can use multiple guide sources to map from.
Check and see if the channels are listed on a cable listing in your area (regardless of channel number).
Chances are they won't be as it seems they either are or aren't present on any listings in the same zip (most of the time).

Try a zip code 10 miles or less from the broadcast tower. This helps in situations where the signal would reach an area normally, but you have a great antenna, get a reflected signal or similar, receiving a station not accounted for in the EPG. IE station is mapped 35 miles around a tower, but you receive it at 42 miles.

Typically, this won't be the case if you get listings for other channels on the same broadcast mux such as 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 are listed but 6.4, 6.5 are not.

Try a zip code on the other side of the tower. It might be listed correctly in one area and not in another area.

If the station recently shuffled the channels or dropped one or two, replacing them with other channels, the EPG changes likely haven't work themselves through the process yet.
