[QUOTE="Andrew H, post: 953068, member: 56239"] Sorry to have misled you. This thread was written because there was a time you couldn't change anything in the edit channel popup. That has been addressed and I can now edit the data without having to perform a rescan of the ATSC channels thus allowing MP to populate the data. As far as your using a 4-digit channel numbering schema, is along the lines of what some cable companies are doing - placing a 1 before the base number. As you said 1021 is your 2.1 and I would conclude 1446 would be your channel 44.6 (leaving only subchannels 0-9 available). In fact, I suppress my channel numbers in the TVGuide because MP chooses to use the RF value rather than the traditional number the station uses. I assign the station's call sign and suffix (or it's gathered upon a rescan) to differentiate the channels (e.g. WHNT-HD, WHNT-SD, WHIQ-HD, WHIQ-IQ, WHIQ-D2, WAAY-HD) in my guide although I use the second TAB and arrange the channels [I]in the order[/I] I want them displayed in the guide which for me is (hidden) numeric (e.g. 19.1, 19.2, 25.1, 25.2, 25.3, 31.1). I have never attempted to direct-enter my channels as you apparently do. (BTW, I seem to recall the Hauppauge remote does have a 'dash' character.) Instead I hit the ENTER (OK) button inside LiveTV to popup a mini guide from which I can navigate on my remote, or the BACK which brings me back to the Guide, or the RIGHT-Click which opens a menu with TV-Guide as the 1st entry. Also, I can scroll the channel up/down button to get to any channel... Sorry for being long-winded, but direct entry isn't something I've considered necessary. One more thing, I also use the broadcasters logos thus seeing their number and/or network affiliate in the guide as well helps. [/QUOTE]
