Lineup limit

[heavyjoost]

I was trying to add another lineup but it shows me a message that I can't have more than 4 lineups. I tried both the website and the JSON service, same results. I'm trying to find out if I can use SD for my needs so I'm still in the trial period, is this why I'm limited? I want to become a member but I like to know in advance if 4 lineups is all I can have. To get around this I could add a lineup, get the data, remove it again and go on to the next one but I don't think the servers will be happy with that

The JSON service has a soft limit of 4 lineups. If you need more than 4 you'll need to contact us to discuss your requirements.

Why do you need more than 4 lineups? That number is already pretty generous.

Are you trying to use the service for commercial use? (a big no-no)

I'm on C and Ku band FTA so as far as I know I just need to add a bunch of lineups with one or two channels here and there. It's just for personal use of course. I tried finding the channels in the 4DTV and C-Band lineups but I can't find most of them there. When I was searching for channels here I found that using the zipcode of the channel was the best way using the antenna lineup. That does mean I need probably over 20 lineups with usually one or channel per lineup and the rest disabled. It would be awesome if I could create a custom lineup and just add the channels I need

I don't know if it matters but I was looking into using the JSON service for all this. I was actually working on a SD JSON module for Perl but I figured I better make sure I can actually get all the channels I need

We have actually offered a FTA lineup in the past on the JSON service and no one that said they were interested actually followed through.

Please send me a PM and we can start the process of creating a real FTA lineup so that you don't need 20 lineups.

Sounds great. Sent you a PM.
