Troubleshooting

Guide data won't download

“The supplier connection is not open right now” and empty guide cells.

Guide data is a large download and providers often refuse it while your account's stream slot is busy. The app retries by itself — the guide header shows “Guide: retrying (attempt N)” and refreshes the moment data lands. If the guide stays empty, the app also pops up a helper with a “Refresh guide now” button.

  1. 1Make sure nothing is playing (exit to the guide) and wait a minute — the background retry usually lands on its own. Most plans allow only ONE connection, and the guide download needs it free.
  2. 2Or force it: Settings → “Refresh TV Guide only”.
  3. 3Still failing after 10 attempts? The app will ask whether to keep trying. Choose Keep Trying and leave it — some providers' guide servers are just slow at peak hours.
  4. 4Nothing after hours? Remove and re-add the connection: left menu → Sources → your connection → re-enter the details from your provider and Save. This clears a stale or changed portal address.

What the error messages mean (shown in the guide banner and sync screen):

Note:When you contact your PROVIDER, say: “The XMLTV/EPG download from my account fails — my player reports <the message above>. Can you check my line and your EPG server?” This is a provider-side data feed, not a MyTVGuide account issue.

Still stuck? Two things fix most one-off problems before anything else: the 60-second reset ladder , and a refresh of your provider’s lineup. Neither touches your favourites, settings or connections.

If it is an account, billing or activation problem — or the steps above genuinely did not help — get in touch with your Support ID from Settings → Account.
