I live in San Antonio. WOAI-DT broadcast NBC on 4.1.
WOAI has other frequencies 4.2 Antenna, and 4.3 Charge. I'm using a combination of HDHomeRun tuner and Hauppauge tuners. I can see 4.1 when I watch live TV via the HDHomeRun app.
I'm using MP1 to record and WOAI-DT Schedules Direct is reporting as either 4.2, 4.3 or some other...

Nevermind, I got it. to move the channels you need to right click and then select the group you want to add to. If you drag and drop, despite there being a + sign suggesting it is the way, it doesnt work. I also didn't need to open and close Media Portal

How did you find this issue? Is there some tool that returns something more verbose than what is going in the standard log. Like how do I find what key this is complaining about so I can fix the file?

Thanks Milhouse. I didn't realize the channels should be named identically to schedules Direct . I renamed some channels and confirmed its working. I have installed MySql workbench, but I haven't figured out how to use it to map the channels if the names don't match. Also, I'm not sure if its pulling extra data from The TVDB, I'll...

John,
We actually have fairly similar systems, except you have a much more current MP version, and are getting TV via antenna.
If you decide to return to MP, I would show you how I get tvguide data, if you're interested. Hauppauge tells me that they do not contract with TitanTV, so I don't think you'll ever successfully get data from...

MP doesn't support channel numbers in the format X.Y. If you had it working before, I'm guessing you must have created the illusion of having it working by prefixing each of the channel names with the channel number in the X.Y format. If I recall correctly the SD plugin has a relevant setting for that. As usual with the SD plugin...
