[QUOTE="falser, post: 60264, member: 21092"] Is there an FAQ on getting the EPG working for ATSC off air channels. I'm finding this rather confusing. After auto-tuning in Media Portal I have 24 stations it says I can tune into. For example, here's the two NBC stations I get: MP channel : call symbol (description) 16 : WRC1 (nbc hd) 17 : WRC2 (nbc weather radar) And I get reception just fine within MP when manually tuning. But when I go and do the Zap2It site, this channel list doesn't match up with what Zap2It shows. Also, zap lists ATSC channels with a dash in them like channel 12, 12-1, 12-2 for different minor channels. For example, the NBC stations are not listed as (16) WRC1 and (17) WRC2, instead they are: 4 : WRC (analog channel which I can't recieve) 4-1 : WRCDT (nbc hd) 4-2 : WRCDT2 (nbc weather radar) So I need to get data for channels 4-1 and 4-2, but Media portal has these as channels 16 and 17. I cannot update the Media Portal channel list and change 16 to "4-1", the software forces me to select from the list. I even tried changing the MP channel to just "4" so it matches up with Zap2It, but when I go to run the scheduler it asks if I want to add the channel and I then get two "4" channels. And that's as far as I've got. How can I link what channels MediaPortal has to what data I can recieve from Zap/XMLTV ? [/QUOTE]
