Unable to re-map channels

[thinksnow]

I'm using 0.2.3_RC2 with Schedules Direct (& patrick's plug in) and have seven (out of 83) channels that are mapped incorrectly. I have tried moving them around using the configuration screens, but have had no success.

For example:
Channel 3 is showing what should be on 6
Channel 4 is showing what should be on 10
Channel 5 is showing what should be on 11
Channel 6 is showing what should be on 3
Channel 7 is showing what should be on 5
Channel 10 is showing what should be on 7
Channel 11 is showing what should be on 4

I don't know if it's Schedules Direct, MP v2.3, or what, so any help would be appreciated!

Hi thinksnow,

Did you ever get the problem solved?

[thinksnow]

I did not.

Hi thinksnow,

Just so I can try to catch up

I have tried moving them around using the configuration screens, but have had no success.

Do you mean the channels are displayed/sorted out of order
but the EPG and what is displayed when watched match?
If so it may just be a sorting problem.

Channel 3 is showing what should be on 6

What is "showing what should be on 6"?
Is the EPG showing what should be on channel 6
or is the channel when watched displaying what
should be on channel 6?


Can you
-delete just channels 3,4,5,6,7,10,11
-run the auto-tune/scan again for you card (to re-add the channels)
-force an update on next MP startup via the SD plugin
-start MP and let the update complete (20-40 minutes)
-post your complete epg.log file to http://pastebin.team-mediaportal.com/

Nope, the EPG will show channel 4 WCMH, 12:00 = Golf but if I were to tune to that channel, it would show channel 10's programming (CBS The NFL Today Presented By Southwest Airlines). In order to watch golf on NBC, I would have to tune to channel 11 on the EPG (which is supposed to be the AZN channel.

See above.

I deleted the channels, but when I try to autotune now, the MP Configuration encounters a problem and shuts down.

Edit to add:
Media Portal now errors out and shuts down when I try to start that, too.

I'm doing a purge and re-install of 2.3 RC2. We'll see what happens.

[thinksnow]

With 2.3 RC2, I've got a different set of mis-mapped channels, all still in the 2-11 range while 12-99 report fine.
Channel 2 is good
Channel 3 is good
Channel 7 shows what is listed for 4
Channel 4 shows what is listed for 5
Channel 9 shows what is listed for 6
Channel 11 shows what is listed for 7
Channel 8 is good
Channel 6 shows what is listed for 9
Channel 5 shows what is listed for 10
Channel 10 shows what is listed for 11

I've got some channels now, though, that show a brief flash of tv, then go to static. I'm tempted to swap out the PVR-500 for my PVR-250 just to troubleshoot and ensure that it's not the new card (in addition to switching from XMLTV to YahooTV to Schedules Direct, I switched to the PVR-500 two weeks ago, too). I figure the less variables I'm dealing with, the better, right?

Edit to add:
I tried re-mapping the channels via the configuration screen and all that did was move them in the tvguide, so now the listings show in this order:
2
3
7
4
9
11
8
6
5
10

but they still display the same program information (i.e., NBC 4 still lists golf, but it is still showing the TVGuide channel, which is channel ). So it would seem that changing the "Channel" under MediatPortal - Setup --> Television --> TV Channels --> Edit properties of TV channel does nothign but move the listing physically.

Next stop- manually changing the frequency under the Analog tab.

That did it: I had to manually change the frequencies.

Wow that is strange, I am glad it is working for you now though.
