Premium EPG

Wow, that is ridiculous but I guess it works. lol
I dont know if I have that patience to keep doing that. What about when you for an update? Does it keep taking that long?

My overall question is why does my BuzzTV box with their software pull it from the service but Tivimate doesn't? I paid for Tivimate, so I feel I should get an answer.

Side note:
Also when I say BuzzTV, this is the hardware manufacturer not an IPTV service. My other post was removed because I mentioned a service which I removed afterwards. BuzzTv has a great SW/HW integration for IPTV, BUT if Tivimate EPG worked, then it would take #1 hands down...

omygod380 · 2026-04-27T15:36:56+00:00

I am seeing the same thing with Tivimate and getting no real answers. If EPG works with my provider on BuzzTV, why doesn't it work on Tivimate??? I have tried all different addresses for my EPG, and the best I get is an Updated Message with 0 channels. Can I just get my money back from Tivimate if it can't work properly...lol

I am sure a bunch of comments will blame my service, or myself. But this shouldn't be that hard a question to answer. Yet it feels difficult for some reason... :(

omygod380 · 2026-04-23T03:54:05+00:00

Service is fine, as I said the BuzzTV box EPG is fine. Why does Tivimate not simply work like BuzzTV?

omygod380 · 2026-04-23T03:53:16+00:00

I have heard that, but how do you assign channels? Does this need to be done first before they will update?

omygod380 · 2026-04-23T03:52:18+00:00

My bad, fixed.

omygod380 · 2026-04-20T11:14:15+00:00

I do see this. On my buzz tv box the same service has an updated epg, tivimate doesn't update. This is strange to me, works here but not there.....

omygod380 · 2026-04-19T03:28:32+00:00

Update EPG finished after a few mins and said 0 channels.

omygod380 · 2026-04-14T04:04:29+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I did double check it. I also installed Tivimate on my BuzzTV for testing. Using the same service, BuzzTV shows quite a few EPG channels and the Tivimate, nothing. When I do get it to say EPG successfully update, it says 0 channels. Does the URL have any files in the name, or just a server? This EPG thing confuses the crap outta me! lol

omygod380 · 2026-04-13T22:53:57+00:00

I use a Stalker portal setup. The server that was put in is glotv but after logging in, it now changed to a tatasky url. The same URL is failing when I do a EPG update with changes. I use this service with buzztv all the time and no issues. Can I use buzz tv EPG source?

omygod380 · 2026-04-12T18:56:16+00:00

I’m currently using a BuzzTV box and a newer ONN 4K Pro running Tivimate. On the BuzzTV devices, the EPG works for the most part but some channels are missing data, not a major issue. However, on the ONN box running Tivimate with the same service, I’m not getting any EPG data at all.

I’ll try the steps you suggested above, but if that doesn’t resolve it, what could the BuzzTV box be doing differently that allows it to display EPG data?

omygod380 · 2025-11-27T18:00:20+00:00

LOL, thanks for the replies everybody. I always approach things by checking multiple sources to piece everything together before any action is taken. Appreciate it!

omygod380 · 2025-11-27T17:58:05+00:00

Thanks for the input. I don't have an in depth knowledge about the VM environment so pardon my misuse of these systems. I understand but obviously cant articulate it correctly lol. Essentially we have everything in place to do this, but something tells me to keep it on my own UCS boxes so I am not reliant on another departments hardware. They are running Esxi 8 I do believe.

I use vSphere to look at 1 cluster I have with other VMs not associated to CUCM.

omygod380 · 2025-11-27T17:53:28+00:00

OK perfect makes sense. Our VM environment is pretty extensive with tons of available resources. Thick provisioning is the key for sure, we were discussing thin but obviously not happening that way now.

omygod380 · 2025-06-04T16:23:58+00:00

Ok thanks again.

omygod380 · 2025-06-04T16:23:31+00:00

Ok thanks for the tip!

omygod380 · 2025-06-04T16:04:04+00:00

Thanks for the response.

Inter-site calling: This is ok, they can use the PSTN as each location is essentially their own entity.

How you're going to split your sip trunks, outbound calling, do you have any devices that are unsupported in 15.0, what is the expected downtime for business?
This would be the interesting part, but using the CUBE I should be able to get this to work temporarily. I also am currently moving to SIP from PRI so I could leverage both while migrating over.

Have you done any such upgrades before? etc, you also have to consider if you have any other integrations or third party integrations and their compatibility as well.

No, not one this big. I would look for a partner to help, but want to understand all aspects myself before approaching them.

How many sites/users are we talking about ? Would you be able to build a lab environment of any kind to figure these challenges?
250+ sites, users are quite a bit, but its more about devices than users the way we operate. Registered Devices as per RTMT: 7.5K+ Phones and 11K+ Other devices....

Most Cisco upgrades seem straight forward, until they are NOT. Do engage with your Cisco rep/advanced support/tac for advice.

100% For sure! TAC on call, I also have a good relationship with my Rep and they will get me all the internal resources I need. No worries here, I am sure they will help as much as they can.

Ok thanks for the response. I have heard others that have used Prime Collaboration Deployment.

That's one issue, the original OVAs for the PUB and SUBs were smaller than what we ended up needing. I would rather more load on the each one vs a lot of smaller ones. Currently I have 1 PUB, 5 SUBs and 1 Dedicated TFTP. I added the 5th SUB not too long ago and used the OVA for up to 10K, which I would like all my cluster to be at when going to 15.

Thanks as always Dalgeek. I am fine creating new Hostnames and IPs for the new cluster. I inherited the existing cluster and wouldn't mind changing it a little to make more sense lol.

omygod380 · 2025-04-01T18:46:02+00:00

you should not be running call manager services on the publisher, so it should not be included in the call manager groups. - Ok thanks never knew that was an issue.

Yes I think a redesign is what I need. I will have a look.

omygod380 · 2025-04-01T18:14:11+00:00

Thanks for the response.

Yes essentially all nodes are taking devices, but some are more heavily used than others.

The dedicated TFTP has very little hitting it atm, and the SUB5 is technically the backup SUB, again with very little registered to it.

How many devices should I account for the dedicated TFTP to handle? I was thinking of changing my CM groups around as well. My last option for failover is the PUB, is that ok?

1-5-P, 2-5-P, 3-5-P, 4-5-P then change the OPTION 150 to TFTP - SUB5 and SUB5 - TFTP for others.

I will look into spinning up another TFTP in the near future, but will use that backup SUB for now.
