Yes, I mean merge not map in the description of all the work, sorry. Mapping is what I am trying to accomplish. I don't have any trouble with OTA and MP.
I have normally updated by scanning, then going to SQLworkbench and putting in the SD information for each channel. I recently added a second card adding two tuners, I removed it for these test to see if it was the culprit and it is not. Over a year ago, before the switch from analog to digital, I always did add channel in SD and it worked with the box add analog channels unchecked. My problems started after the switch. I have been in dialogue with Robert Kulagowski at Schedules Direct and I found his last email interesting. I don't understand it but I think it may point to one possibility why I am having a challenge.

The XML service does not have support for QAM. If you do a scan in your application, you would use the "X" lineup to your account at Schedules Direct and then correlate the scanned channels with the stationIDs so that your application would know which schedules to use where.

The JSON service has QAM support, (we would take the scan and do the correlation) but your application would need to be written to use the JSON service.

I could not find how to select the "X" lineup, but I think that is what I have (re. above X Device, nor do I know about "JSON" service.

I am sorry I am such a pill at this, I used to be smarter but it seems while each day I learn something new, I forget at least two more things I knew.
I also recognize the difficulty with matching lies with the fact that Longview Cable reports a channel with one name and it is slightly different with what is stored at SD. It took me 6 months to get them to acknowledge they have failed to update music channel names that changed 4 years ago. Not only in what was reported in a scan but what they displayed in their guide. Now they are updated. It may be I am looking at a similar problem all over again.

So, as I see it. I can scan with Clear QAM Cable - QAM Standard, and see if anything changes (that is the definition of insanity, right!) and then go to SQLworkbench and put in the correct schedule for each channel OR I can unplug my cable and get OTA. Choice number 2 is looking real good.

I have one additional problem and it has to do with scanning and I will post something over there when I get some facts together.

Again, thanks for all the help!!!! Y'all were GREAT!
If you see anything else .... please post.
