It froze a bit and crashed after a couple of times bringing up the guide. Strange, because I wouldn't think the old English-only was that much smaller, but it rarely if ever crashed.

Noob question, do you guys get syfy? I saw it on the master list as channel 45 but that channel is missing from my guide, possibly others as well but I have not done a thorough check.
I followed this guide as posted by dara: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poX99rkPa_A and it worked on the first try. As far as I can tell it uses the stock guide components that is built in to the stalker client.
I think I'm out to lunch here. I broke something I am sure. Do you have an idiots guide to finding missing channels?

You might have inadvertently displayed one of the groups. Tab down the EPG (on the left side) and make sure 'ALL CHANNELS' is selected.
Sometimes a pull doesn't catch all channel data, so those channels could be missing.
After checking expatter's recommendation, make sure Hide "No information available" labels is disabled in System > Settings > TV > Guide. Otherwise, channels with no information will not be shown in the guide.

All channels was set, BUT the Hide no information available radio button was indeed checked. I unchecked it and restarted kodi, but the channels remain hidden.
I can see the missing channels under TV->Channels but the content is empty. Syfy and TLC are empty of content and are not visible on the guide.
Should I clear or reset anything after unchecking the hide radio button?
Each time you make a change, it is important to clear the data.
Disable the PVR.
Go to System > Settings> TV > General > Clear the blue Enabled button.
Go to System > Settings> TV > General > Clear Data.
Go to System > Settings > TV > Guide > Clear Data.
Re-enable the PVR.
Re-enable TV.
Disable the PVR.
Go to System > Settings> TV > General > Clear the blue Enabled button.
Go to System > Settings> TV > General > Clear Data.
Go to System > Settings > TV > Guide > Clear Data.
Re-enable the PVR.
Re-enable TV.

if your using the new pvr stalker nfps 1.0.1 even this is not enough.you must goto your appdata/userdata/addon_data/pvr.stalker and delete the epg_xmltv.xml or when you restart live tv it will load this cahed file and not grab a new copy from the server.
True, Blackbear. I looked at the video he used to set-up the PVR from his prior post. It was for the built-in Stalker Client. He should be good to go.
Let me preface this by saying that I work in IT, am very comfortable around technology, and know how to RTFM.
Thanks for the assistance, but it's still not working properly for me.
I followed this guide completely, restarted the app and device numerous times, but still am missing some of the key channels from the guide, such as:
SYFY,
USA,
TLC,
TV Land,
True Drama,
TNT,
WWE Network,
UCF Network,
Cartoon Network
Et cetera, et cetera.
These missing channels appear in the channel list (not the guide) but have no info and do not load when selected.
I really am stuck. I've tried numerous fixes in half a dozen threads in the forum, but nothing has worked. For the most part I am very happy with my rocket service, but I find these missing channels particularly irksome.
Are there any other switches I can toggle or settings I can review that you can suggest?
One thing I noticed is I am using stalker client version 0.8.4 where this thread references 0.8.3 often. I'm using win7 and kodi 15.2.
Again, this is the guide I followed as posted by dara: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poX99rkPa_A
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
I don't know, friend. I went as far as deleting the stalker client folder in appdata and rerunning the whole process again from scratch, same result: same channels are missing and the rest are on the guide just fine.
Can you recommend another guide that is current?
mymid.. what version of the plugin are you using..
what epg url are you using?
we cant really help without such details
i am getting data for most of those channels using the 72 hour pull.. a couple are missing , but honestly sometimes some data is just missing when we do a grab, thats the way it is, the sources for the data are not 100%.. if not having EPG data for 10 channels irks you that much, get a sub from your local provider, that may be better suited for your tv viewing requirements.... alternatively, you could try the server provided epg data instead of using our url, it may be more complete as it is loaded in a different way- you need to use the version of stalker included with kodi to use the server provided epg, or go buy a MAG device.

someone confirm data is missing for those channels,on my system i run at home i have epg for them all.its a copy of what the server runs.
i'm too lazy to switch it over to check....

Hey guys, how's everyone doing this fine monday morning? I just have one question, in Live TV > Guide there is an option about "update interval", default is 120 minutes... should one switch to let's say to 1440 minutes which is 24 hours or should that option stay at 120 min.?
I'm asking because I remember reading a while ago on this forum that you shouldn't be grabbing the EPG more then you should or you might get banned, is that still a case? So is 120 minutes fine or should I increase the value?
Using Kodi 15.2 with pvr.stalker client.

acidjesus.. you should use pvr.stalker.nfps as it caches the epg locally and only refreshes once a day.... but if you choose to use pvr.stalker built in to kodi changing that setting doesnt to much, your device will hammer the server anyways but the server will only allow you to connect once every few hours..
wondering if someone can help me out... the guide is working fine for me but I don't think I am caching the epg locally.. everytime i press back to the guide, there is 5 secpause which i am assuming is the epg loading as the audio still works fine.. is there a setting where i can check my current cache settings..
i already looked in the TV section of kodi's setting and everything seems fine there. Only see one option relating to cache in their and its for not caching which is unselected
