This may seem live a very strange question, but is there any way I can force "Listing Unavailable"? I did this once before, completely by accident, and it forced my old Raspberry Pi model B to load the channels really quickly.

I know that this defeats the purpose of having a guide in the first place, but the reason that I ask is because I built a Raspberry Pi for my elderly mother, and she does not use the EPG ever, at all, she never used the EPG on her old cable box, either. She understands "Channel Up, Channel Down" and that's it. Her setup is a Rpi Model B, and only the USTV now channels, it is a paid account, so it loads 28 channels, which takes around 20-ish minutes. It's generally not a problem because she just leaves the Rpi running on PTVL 24/7, but on the occasional reboot,I get the impatient old-person phone call "It's not working!".

So, if there's a trick to force PTVL to not load EPG data, that would be awesome...or was it just a one time glitch that I encountered?

Thanks!

***Edit***
Please disregard this question, I found that if I delete my xmltv file and then launch PTVL, it loads the channels exactly how I need them to for her.

The correct way to do this, is to define the USTVnow channels as Internet TV style channels NOT Live TV. It will not try and grab an EPG and create them instantly.
