[QUOTE="RonD, post: 990084, member: 117536"] mm, tried the new^2 tvlibrary file, if leave the old channels in my channel list, do a new scan the channel numbers do NOT get updated. I guess this is expected. This is "test3" in the zip file I then deleted all my channels, did another scan, "test4" in the zip file, I see the new auto-generated LCN/channel numbers in the TV Server Config > Channels. But there are a few weird cases. 1. In MePo Client Config, I had 4-digit channel numbers enabled, but I see all 5-6 channel digits when I look at the MePo Client TV guide. Not a major problem but I expected MePo client to only show 4 digits. 2. My KGO channel did not get scanned correctly. Phy = 7, Major = 7, Minor = 1 (2 more subchannels 7.2, 7.3). This showed as "unknown 7-3", "unknown 7-4", "unknown 7-5". This may be a general MePo scan robustness limitation. This is normally a "good" channel, but sometimes MePo does not always scan. This is also 1 of my SF weird stations that has 2 PhyChannels 7 and 35. I get better results with 7 and do some tweaking. Look for TSID:381. In "test3" log files it scanned correctly with both 7 and 35, in "test4" it scanned correctly with 35. 3. Two channels show unexpected major channel numbers. both have several sub-channels but I only show the 1st one. Not sure why MePo finds strange major channel numbers. KKPX ION, LCN:257001 phys:41 maj:257 min:1, on a US TV this shows as 65-1 KFSF DT, LCN:258001 phys:34 maj:258 min:1, on a US TV this shows as 66-1 if I use the HDHR config tool, enter phys:41 or phys:34, HDHR always shows the expected 65-1 or 66-1 Major.Minor channel numbers.
