lost epg

It means your ISP is not blocking the server. If I had known the channels load, as you mentioned in the subsequent post, I wouldn't have bothered with this step.

I am sorry ilan. It was my fault for not at first providing the complete information/status surrounding the issue I was having. Please do not hesitate to share with me any further ideas you might have in respect of this issue, so hopefully I can make it go away..
 
Go to System Settings/ PVR&LiveTV/ Guide- Enable "Dont Cache in Local Database.
Clear your data again.
(*also make sure your connection timeout in Stalker settings is set to 60 or above)

kens, the "Dont Cache in Local Database" was already enabled. The connection timeout had been set at 5 but I changed it to 70. I again went through all the advice given so far but the problem still persists! Enabling the PVR and restarting Kodi loads the channel list but no guide. Another restart of Kodi gives the "Stalker unable to load channels" error. Sometimes the channl list is loaded (but no guide!) despite the error notice being displayed, while at other times the channels do not load! I have even tried a re-install of Kodi.
 
I haven't tested the changes because I've been busy on the home front with summer tasks. I would suspect with the changes some of the channels have been renamed at the server end, which means the EPG will no longer align with the channel list. I'm not sure when or if Acid will address the issue. Since this is a matching game (channel name at server and channel name in guide), you will have the same problem with Ken's old guide. However, it looks like Ken has created a new guide (with a new URL) to address some of the changes. See the post and URL above.
 
Outstanding Kens. A real load off my mind.

With your new EPG, here are the issues I still see:

1. No logos ===> Paramount Channel, WGN America, TSN 1 thru TSN 5, and all of the 9000 series channels

2. No guide data ====> National Geographic SD, Paramount Channel, Fox Miami, CBS News, and all of the 9000 series channels

3. The new 9000 channels that will not play ====> ESPN2 HD, Fox Sports 1 HD, Fox Sports2 HD, NFL HD, CBS Sports HD, and NBC Sports HD .

Thanks much Kens... I'm sure you will finish it all up. Way to go!

Like Ilan said some of the channels names changed so I"ll have to go back and rename those channels back to SD. We still have working guide for the UK channels and the channels in the 9000s range with some exceptions like National Geographics Channel East HD. I'll try to have it fixed by the next pull.
As always, thanks for keeping up with this, Acid!

Made the necessary changes to the channels names etc. but it didn't take effect. Don't know why. Might be on servers end. I'll wait 'till next pull and we'll go from there. Been kinda busy today with my son's graduation from 8th grade.
As the channels being added in the 9000 range it seems like all of them have working guide. Like I said I'll wait till next pull and see if it gets "fixed" if not I'll have to just dive in deeper and see what's the root of the problem.
