External XMLTV vs a guide supplied by the service
Use the service’s built-in guide when it matches your feeds. Use a compatible XMLTV source when you can map channel IDs and maintain the schedule source.

How it works
A built-in guide may be refreshed as part of the account. An external feed brings its own identifiers, time offsets and coverage window. Choose the guide that provides the correct programme on the actual feed, then check what happens when both sources are enabled.
What to do
- Check one matching programme in the built-in guide.
- Verify the authorized XMLTV source’s channel and programme identifiers.
- Change one guide mapping and compare the result without modifying every channel.
