[QUOTE="CanadianEh, post: 1114010, member: 114499"] Good morning, I'm trying to figure out what keeps reverting all of my channel names and station numbers back to "default" values. I do use SchedulesDirect for EPG data, so this might be playing into it all. Regardless, I tried to clean up my channel guide by shortening some station names and changing their channel numbers to more "user-friendly" numbers. For instance, ATSC Physical Channel 22.1 WCAX is known locally as 3 - WCAX (it's virtual channel ID, due to the analog/digital conversion mess). The ATSC scan grabbed it and named it as "WCAX-HD" originally, so I cleaned it up and renamed it to 3 - WCAX. Unfortunately, hours later, it changed itself to "3 WCAX-HD". While I can just give up on renaming the channels to some degree, the "channel number" field is getting reverted on some stations, as well. For instance, WCAX has an ATSC sub-channel called 3.2 (virtual number), that I went ahead and set to Channel Number "4", so I can easily tune to it with the remote control. This keeps getting reverted to "3", the main virtual channel's number. I have not done another ATSC channel scan since changing the channel numbers or IDs. is this SchedulesDirect causing this issue? I have all of the Channel Naming features turned off in the SchedulesDirect plugin v1.3.0.1. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
