[QUOTE="clarkebelt, post: 1087742, member: 148422"] Hello again mm1352000, thank you for the explanation. I am more awake now and am trying to understand what you said about the import/export. I think this might at least be a workaround to solving the problem I'm having here but I need to be clear about how it works. Just so I am clear on this (because it seems like every time I make an assumption about something it's wrong), let's say I did this: [LIST] [*]Exported just my channels and groups [*]Performed a scan on a new satellite [*]Imported my channels and groups back from the previous export [/LIST] Would I be correct in assuming that would restore all my channels and groups back to the way they were before I performed the scan? And if there was non-conflicting data from the new scan, would that be preserved or erased when I re-imported the old data? In other words, does an import of channel and group data first erase any existing channel and group data, or does it attempt to merge the imported data into what's currently in the database?
