View Full Version : Combining multiple program guides on a device?

I have VOOM. The program guide shows voom listings, but I want to add
the local digital listings too.

I tried building a second source of the same device with listings, but it wiped out the first list.

Anyone gotten combined listings to work? And I know they use zap2it. Voom shows a guide on their web site showing the local digital channels combined with the voom channels with a zap2it logo. How does one get that program listing?

This older thread might help: How do I add the Local channels for my Voom box?

If your receiver has more than one output - like an svideo + l/r audio AND a coax out, then you can setup two different sources with their own lineups. Use the svideo for the source where picture quality is more important to you, and use the coax source for the other.

It does, but the zap2it listings for over-the-air do not show digital channels, just analog. I know the digital ones are there, they show up in the zap2it stuff for voom from their site, go to

http://www.voom.com/see_it/programming.html and click on 'Today's schedule' on the top right. Pretty neat! But I cannot find any way on the sagetv setup or even on my datadirect/xmltv zap2it account to get that listing.

So if I'm understanding you correctly, the channel lineup in SageTV is not the same as what Voom lists on their website, even though both use Zap2it?

If that's the case, you might want to email Frey and see if they have a suggestion.

I have no idea what VOOM is but, if you're using XML, you can use TV_cat to combine 2 XMLTV files into one. TV_cat is part of the xmltv distro for w32.
