program guide not updating

'blocking for multiple uses of user credentials' might have caused my issue. Thanks for the clue! I only have one instance of SageTV and it is the only thing that grabs guide data from Schedules Direct. However, I now have three Internet connections in a load-balance and failover configuration. Connections from my SageTV server could randomly appear to be coming from three different IP addresses.

Regardless of the error I was seeing in the SageTV log, my guide data was still filling out and updating. The OTA broadcast channels that got shuffled around over the weekend are now mostly fixed. I think there is now just one channel with the wrong guide data and a couple of channels that still have the wrong channel logo.

I have reconfigured my router to route all traffic from my SageTV server through only one of the load-balance Internet connections and the failover Internet connection. After doing that and restarting SageTV, I haven't seen any EPG errors.
