For my part (under Windows) I'm not doing anything clever except spoofing the date, however, as the RunAsDate thing does not change the system date I guess it's possible that mc2xml is still seeing the 'real' date when it fetches its data. Indeed, just now, mc2xml reported: Start time .. : 2020-10-1...

Some (most?) versions of mc2xml expired on 30th October 2020. I haven't been able to find a working version for Windows. Instead, I've been using Nirsoft's RunAsDate to spoof the date. This involves creating a bat file that alters the date as it launches mcsxml.exe, something like this: C:\Nirsoft\R...

My version v1.7 for Windows didn't fix the problem. I'm having to use Nirsoft's RunAsDate to spoof the date. Where did you download the latest mc2xml.exe? The mc2xml website now redirects to the Wayback Machine.

Thanks,

I can confirm that OX3 (this is the postcode area for the Oxford Freeview transmitter) provides: BB...

My guess would be 87840 - BBC1 HD (London)

Is the misaligned regions thing dead in the water? Nothing seems to have changed. Is it possible to produce a list of which BBC1 and ITV1 region is provided with each transmitter lineup? That way we could at least pick the best (least worst?) lineup regardless of our postcode area. For example: GBR-...

Schedules Direct offers a list of Transmitter / Lineup. It's up to the application to present your the list as an alternative to using the postal code method. I also think the problem is, for example, that GBR-1000083-DEFAULT is covering way to much area. "Bluebell Hill":"GBR-1000083-DEFAULT" "Dove...

Am I completely misunderstanding this issue? I'm also using mc2xml (schedules direct json) and I'm struggling with the changes. I am alternating between getting this: Account status: 4/4 lineups Deleted lineup: The server has deleted this lineup Error ........: Delete mc2xml.dat and re-select a lin...
