[QUOTE="jameson_uk, post: 671284, member: 11220"] Channel One is the new name for Virgin 1. When you did a rescan it would have found this new channel and added it to your list but would not have deleted the old Virgin 1 entry (this is because it gets very messy deleting channels as you have things like BBC 3/4 which are not broadcasting 24/7) and you can end up loosing your channels. Freeview STBs get round a lot of this by deleting their whole channel listing when doing a rescan; Sky actually communicate with your box to provide updates but this is propriety stuff and only relevant to Sky. There is discussion about offering the chance to delete channels that were not found after a scan but as above this possibly wont happen because you could do a scan one day in bad wearther at 5pm and loose half your channels. If you do that then you would have to go through the pain of allocating channels to card, linking to EPG grabbers, re-setting up schedules..... STBs do not have these issues. As for the EPG, it generally just takes a little while to update. If the channels are ticked to grab the EPG then this should work after a little while. You can always force the EPG update via config too. This seems a slight issue. Could you post some screen shots of what it looks like in config. Remember these changes are actually not that common (eg. the Big Deal moving frequency is only part of the move to Freeview HD / digital switchover so is very unlikely to happen again) [/QUOTE]
