Station Zip Codes

[Sadie]

Thought this list of station zip codes might be useful to others
I used the info to build a program guide using Zap2it, I believe its easier with TitanTV, however Zap2it offers local programing for Canadians and the ability to set all time zones.
Its also possible to convert the data into a XMLTV file for use as an EPG in various software that uses the standard.

Thanks! That was a lot of work, that I've been meaning to do but never found time.

 

[KE4EST]

Nice work!

Thanks! I just spent forever trying to organize 123w in TitanTV. I didn't get very far, but this will definitely help.

I have posted a 'how to" for creating a Zap2it program guide here.

Its illustrated so the page is quite large for those of us on dial up around 400K.

Let me know if something isn't clear.

Sadie, thanks for this, it takes out a lot of the head scratching.

Sadie, thanks for this, it takes out a lot of the head scratching.

Yes Sadie:
It took me about an hour from start to finish, but I actually got it done..It works really well once you get the hang of how to do it..Only problem was having to use guesswork on a few channels because of Call Letter/Network changes recently, but the Zip codes were a big help. Now all I need to do is put the channels in order according to my Fortec Dynamic. Nice thing about this is, once you get the intial setup done, you can add more stations in just moments as you add more satellites to view..

Another THANKS!

Glad it helps, that's what this site is about.
It might be an idea if people find any new, better or not working zip code/station combination to post them here. It will save the next guy a bit of time

KUSM is a better match for PBS MONTANA it's at the same zip code 59716

I notice this week while PBS is fund raising, most of the fund raising shows are replaced by something else on satellite (except Montana) the rest of the schedule appears correct.

The wife's gonna like that she can look up locals with zap2it. She was annoyed that CSI came on at "a special time" an hour later so people wouldn't miss out on their American Idol. Now we'd know in advance.
