The main problem I am running into is that my cable provider includes the standard definition channels in their digital package. So what I have is:Analog tuner - WNBCQAM tuner - WNBC, WNBCDT, WNBCDT2, WNBCDT4They seem to map ok according to the log:2009-11-17 09:00:34.446354 [SchedulesDirect EPG Client]: Processing lineup Cablevision of Woodbury [id=NY58806:X type=CableDigital postcode=11553]2009-11-17 09:00:34.591354 [SchedulesDirect EPG Client]: Channel WNBC was found as WNBC in EPG mapping database2009-11-17 09:00:34.593354 [SchedulesDirect EPG Client]: Updated channel WNBC [id=1176 xmlid=11705.4.schedulesdirect.org]2009-11-17 09:00:35.257354 [SchedulesDirect EPG Client]: Channel WNBCDT (WNBC-DT) was found as WNBCDT in EPG mapping database2009-11-17 09:00:35.259354 [SchedulesDirect EPG Client]: Updated channel WNBCDT [id=1190 xmlid=20459.704.schedulesdirect.org]2009-11-17 09:00:35.668354 [SchedulesDirect EPG Client]: Channel WNBCDT2 (WNBC-DT2) was found as WNBCDT2 in EPG mapping database2009-11-17 09:00:35.671354 [SchedulesDirect EPG Client]: Updated channel WNBCDT2 [id=1188 xmlid=44936.109.schedulesdirect.org]2009-11-17 09:00:35.681354 [SchedulesDirect EPG Client]: Channel WNBCDT4 (WNBC-DT4) was found as WNBCDT4 in EPG mapping database2009-11-17 09:00:35.687354 [SchedulesDirect EPG Client]: Updated channel WNBCDT4 [id=1189 xmlid=49877.110.schedulesdirect.org]...2009-11-17 09:00:35.949354 [SchedulesDirect EPG Client]: Processing lineup Cablevision of Woodbury [id=NY58806:R type=Cable postcode=11553]2009-11-17 09:00:36.302354 [SchedulesDirect EPG Client]: Channel WNBC was found as WNBC in EPG mapping database2009-11-17 09:00:36.310354 [SchedulesDirect EPG Client]: Updated channel WNBC [id=1176 xmlid=11705.4.schedulesdirect.org]Of course, I have no way of knowing if that second lineup just re-found the digital WNBC or processed the analog one. Since I have no guide data on any of the analogs which are duplicated, I will assume the former. From playing around with this plugin for about 18 hours so far I am concluding that it cant map the same guide data to more than one channel. If I am wrong about this, please let me know! I really wouldn't care about the analogs at all except that my screwy cable company encrypts the digital versions of some of the channels available on analog. Another way someone might want duplicates is if they have a STB AND the cable fed to a tuner card. A STB group would have a WNBC and the TUNER group could also have a WNBC but how would you map the same guide data to the two seperate channels?Since I don't think this is possible, I am going to try to move away from 'analog' and 'digital' groups and come up with groupings to eliminate the duplicate analogs, while still keeping the unique analogs.Thanks again for the response and, like I said, if you know of a way to map the same guide data to two (or more) channels... please let me know!HankEDIT - I see by looking at an export of my channel information that the 'id=1176' is my MP channel id and it is getting mapped to SD 11705.4  ok, makes sense. Also since the second mapping is also for 1176, it is indeed re-mapping the digital channel rather than the analog id 1422  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />  Seems strange that the plugin would parse the info from SD and try to match it to the MP channels rather than the other way around. Looks like I am going to have to learn C# to recode this thing.</blockquote>
