[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 789948, member: 82144"] Hi again Stephen We use TSID + ONID + SID as the unique identifier of a channel. In database column terms that is transportId + networkId + serviceId. If a tuningdetail record with a particular combination already exists then we update rather than create. If those channels have the same combination of those IDs then they are not compliant with DVB guidelines, which is the main broadcasting standard that MediaPortal adheres to. You will have to create Omni Calgary manually: 1. Open TV Server configuration. 2. Go to the "TV Channels" section. 3. Rename "Omni Calgary" to "CityTV Calgary". 4. Click "add" (channel). 5. Set name "Omni Calgary". 6. Click "add". 7. Select "ATSC" (???). 8. Enter the channel number you use to select the channel (doesn't *really* matter). 9. Enter the appropriate frequency (critical). 10. Enter 38 as major channel. 11. Enter 1 as minor channel. 12. Select 8 VSB for ATSC modulation. 13. Enter the network ID, transport ID and service ID you found in the DB. 14. PMT PID is probably 30. You may need to set it to 0 if you don't know what it is. 15. Optionally enter the provider name. 16. Tick free to air. Unfortunately this is going to keep getting messed up each time you rescan - one of the downsides of having non-compliant providers. :( mm [/QUOTE]
