mm,

I sometimes see ATSC scan problems where the channel name shows up as "Unknown 28-1" where the name is "unknown" followed by the Physical channel number. In many cases if I edit the channel it shows a valid "name" KFTL-CO in this case and I can preview the channel. I can usually do the following as a workaround.

1. In channel(nnn), delete all "unknown" channels and rescan. If the rescan works, get a valid channel name and other info most of the time but not all the time. If I just do a rescan, the visible name does not seem to get updated

2. If the channel "previews" modify the "name" to have the valid channel name.

the attached txt file has has the "export.xml" info for 2 of my unknown channels. Both of the channels will preview and I can watch the channels. These are both Spanish language that I don't watch so I never did anything to "fix" them. I don't have the tv.log files from the scan.

DisplayName="Unknown 28-1"
DisplayName="Unknown 51-1"
