EPG Update Question for Multiple Lineups

[KeithAbb0tt]

I have two SchedulesDirect lineups defined in SageTV, one for OTA and one for cable. When I look under Program Guide on the WebGUI Home page, it will say something like:

Last EPG Update: May 14, 2026, 11:28:47 AM

Next EPG Update In: 0.58hrs

Is there any way that I can tell which lineup updated at 11:28, and which lineup will be updating in 0.58hrs?

I have to honest, I thought that when Sage did an EPG update that it was across the board, for all sources/tuners. If not checking in the logs to see what's happening when, then maybe just check how far out your EPG is for various sources at 11:40 AM to see which lineup has an extra day of data.

From what I can tell, if you toggle a channel in the Channel Setup screen, it initiates an EPG update only for the lineup associated with that tuner. It's too bad that the System Information screen in SageTV doesn't indicate which lineup was updated and which lineup will be updated next.

I don't very often go in and modify channels in Channel Setup, but I suppose it makes sense that if I do, it might only fetch EPG guide data for that lineup. Most of the time my Sage system just does an EPG update daily without my intervention, and I assumed it updated all lineups at that time (I haven't researched this to confirm). On the rare occasion that I need to force an EPG update, I usually do so from the Web Interface "Force EPG Update" which I have always assumed (without confirming) updates all the lineups.

What exactly was your question again?

What exactly was your question again?

The question is: how can I tell which lineup(s) were last updated, and which lineup(s) will be updated next?

[KeithAbb0tt]

Anybody have any other insight?

FWIW, I'm pretty sure the sage log file has that information. Search for 'epg' and the lineup identifier. I only have OTA, so it's my zip code. I think it will also say when the next update will be.

This is what I found in mine:

Thanks @xjim1, that helped. If I search the sage log files for "uri='/20141201/lineups/USA-", that seems to find all of my EPG updates. Here's the Windows command that searches all of my sage log files and displays all of the EPG update lines in chronological order:

for /f "tokens=*" %G in ('dir \\SAGETV\appdata\sagetv\server\sagetv_*.txt /b /o:d') do @findstr /i "uri='/20141201/lineups/USA-" \\SAGETV\appdata\sagetv\server\%G
