[QUOTE="arion_p, post: 617969, member: 45945"] First of all I would like to say that I am not pissed. We all do this on our spare time and the amount of posts is overwhelming. So I'm just trying to make sure I don't spend time explaining something that is already explained in a guide. Second, I did not write the guide, I just found it the most accurate. Also please keep in mind that I do this from memory, as I haven't had an v1.0.2 installation for at least a year. That is normal. The Channel Name column will be filled when the channel is mapped (it essentialy contains the name of the channel as it is known to the grabber). Auto Map does not work very well in 1.0.2 (in 1.1.0 it has been improved but still it is far from perfect). What you need to do is select the channel you want to map from the list on the left, click "..." then navigate to the imdb grabber, select the correct channel and [U]press the "Select" button[/U] that is under the grabbers tree. When you press the "Select" button, the columns Channel Name, Channel Id and Grabber will be filled in. You do not need to close this window. You can just select the next channel you want to map, find the correct channel again in the tree and press "Select". Repeat this until all channels are mapped. Just nitpicking, but: Well in the guide it says that you need to replace the version that is already in MP directory with the one that works. I merely pointed out that this was not needed for 1.0.2 (the guide is based on 1.0.0). You are right about that. Frankly, it's the first time I've seen a user not name the channels, so it never occurred to me. Normally that is done automatically by TV server when you scan for the channels. Probably it doesn't work so well for ATSC, or US broadcasters do not include the channel name in the stream (sorry I have no experience how ATSC and US broadcasts work in general). Naming the channels is only needed for auto map (it tries to find matching names - so no name, no match). Obviously that did not work for you. Actually only one of the two doesn't work. It is really unfortunate that we have no developer from the US (no one interested enough?) and no US user either has the knowledge or took the time to fix the existing broken grabber or build a new one.
