[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 791185, member: 82144"] I would say this is because the maching by channel number option was turned on. What you may need to do is modify the process even further: 1. Scan HDHomeRun channels. 2. Rename. 3. Run SD with channel number mapping *off* and channel creation *off* to establish the correct digital channel links. 4. Scan analog cable channels with the AVC-3610. 5. Run SD again with the channel number mapping *on* and channel creation *on* to link the analog cable channels and create the remaining exclusive HD-PVR channels. Sorry but I don't understand. The HD-PVR is the *last* thing you should set up. Not necessary at this stage. I think I'm starting to get my head around the complexity... :) As I see it there are a few issues: 1. My lack of knowledge of SD. 2. The mixed mode nature of your TV setup. 3. The fact that SD is not integrated more tightly in TV Server (like the XMLTV plugin) - you can't manually map channels. SD devs have assumed that their heuristics for matching will be enough. In most cases they are *if you understand how they work*, but not always... I didn't realise you were a developer - maybe you told me and I forgot? In any case, familiarising yourself with the code is a good first step. What do you want to tackle? How do *you* imagine this working better? Keep in mind that I've never used BeyondTV, Sage, or SD so I have no concept of how they do things. All the logic for linking is in SD - the code can be pulled from their Google code repository: [url=http://mp-schedulesdirect.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/]mp-schedulesdirect - Revision 28: /trunk[/url] Have a look at the [URL="http://mp-schedulesdirect.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/SchedulesDirectPluginTVE3/Import/EpgListingsImporter.cs"]EpgListingsImporter class[/URL], and the FindTvChannel() function in particular - that is where all the linking logic is. mm [/QUOTE]
