[QUOTE="milhouse, post: 1235742, member: 26653"] For the most part, once the scanned channels are mapped with the right Schedules Direct ids, It Just Works(tm). I never even think about it. To start with, I am assuming you have scanned in your OTA channels with your cards, and hidden the ones you don't care about (TV Server channels list, unchecked the ones you would never watch). And I also assume you've set up your lineup in SD and selected (only) the channels you care about. In theory, SD ought to be able to map the channels to the right station based on the broadcasted channel name. Or, using the "allow EPG channel mapping by channel number only" as a fall back, it ought to be able to map on just the broadcasted channel info. If you need to manually fix things, I personally use mySQL workbench: SELECT idChannel, externalID,displayName, channelnumber FROM mptvdb.channel where isTV = 1 and visibleInGuide=1; Your schedules direct lineup "report" has all the info you need to add the externalID that is used to link SD to the channel. xlmid.logicalchannel.schedulesdirect.org SD lineups: [ATTACH=full]194919[/ATTACH] SD lineup report [ATTACH=full]194921[/ATTACH] mysql: [ATTACH=full]194920[/ATTACH] Once channels are properly mapped to SD, then the only settings I have checked in the SD TV Server plugin are: Advanced Tab - add addition rating, air date, etc is the only box I have checked anywhere. TheTVDB.com tab - fetch season and episode information. That's it. Lastly, select the box to force a full guide update, then stop/start the service and wait at least 5 minutes to look. Could take an hour to completely populate if you have the full 13 day guide like I do. Good luck.... milhouse [/QUOTE]
