EPG Data

What is it and why do I want it?

Adding a XML TV Listings API key and channel lineup ID to your encoder will give you a graphic row-by-row, channel-by-channel list, making it easy to choose what channel to tune your device to.

A tunable device is not required to display the EPG but you will need a tunable device to use the “tune to channel” options. Tunable devices are DirecTV, HDHomeRun, IR Blaster devices and more are being added often. The tuning is no guaranteed. Please contact us about for rates/pricing to create custom modules for your device(s). 

The encoder configuration dashboard has two options that get filled out to produce a Electronic Program Guide (EPG).

XMLTV Guide ID:  Create an account at xmltvlistings.com, add a lineup, then copy the Lineup/Guide ID shown in your dashboard.

XMLTV API Key: Required to display program guide data. Copy your API key from the API Keys section of your xmltvlistings.com account.
