Hello again David

Did you decide you don't want to rename your channels as instructed, or...???
In case you missed what I said, I want to strongly reiterate: I do not recommend combining/merging.

You mean merge not map, right?
Merging is combining of two or more channels into one channel.
Mapping is linking channels to tuners.
Mapping is much simpler than merging, because you can bulk-select all channels and map them with a few key presses and one click... so I don't know why you'd say "individually" unless you're talking about merging.

Again, I don't know why you're saying "mappings". Either way your maths is off.

The number of merges you'd have to do [if you insist on taking the non-recommended merge route] is independent of the number of tuners you have. If your cable provider/lineup has 183 real/actual channels, that means you should have 183 pairs of [SD analog channel + TV Server digital channel] to merge.

For the record, mappings...
Based on your log files, you have two digital tuners and two analog tuners. All your channels are digital so the analog tuners can be ignored (they can't be used for anything). You scan once with one digital tuner to pick up all your channels. The channels will automatically be mapped to the tuner you scan with, leaving only one tuner to map. Assuming the scan found 183 channels, that'd be 183 mappings to create... but as above: this can be done as a "bulk" step and does not have to be done individually for each channel.

This question does not make any sense to me.
If you're asking whether you can convert the analog channels that SD creates into digital channels then the answer is no, absolutely not.
If you're asking whether you can shift the EPG listings from the analog channels to the digital channels then the answer is yes, with a fair amount of effort.

Well, what can I say. I've provided the information that you need to fix this:

Not sure what more I can say to help or make it clearer than that.

Regards,
mm
