[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1101357, member: 82144"] Hello again They come from the tuner's forward data channel service... which is to say that I believe they come from the CableCARD, which in turn gets them from your cable provider via the cable headend's out-of-band channel. Sorry, I have no idea where you're reading this so I don't think I can answer. However from the "KWDK" I might guess you're looking at a channel name... and if that were correct, I can't give you an answer. From our perspective the channel names are "opaque" - we get the from the tuner/CableCARD, and we save them in our database. That is all we know. Any formatting or patterns that may or may not exist in the names are entirely in the control of the cable provider (...unless the name is "Unknown...", which is a pattern we use when we can't get the name).
