[QUOTE="moab, post: 494143, member: 73157"] I have almost exact same issue. Hopefully someone has an answer. I did notice that a few of my channels actually automatically identified the call sign after scanning channels with the 1.0.2 version of MP. There is a move to share channel scans so that there is a central shared database of mappings. Until that time here is the process... Once all the scanning is completed, go into Channels and you'll see a ton of Unknown XXXXXX-XX channels. Here comes the PITA part. You'll need to click on the green dot next to the channel (Make sure to not click on the channel name as there's a weird bug in this section of the TVServer that if it goes to rename the channel and you just press enter to get out of renaming, the channel will save itself with no channel name at all). Once you have the first channel highlighted, click Preview. If it comes up Channel is Scrambled or Unable to Start Graph, delete the channel. If you actually come up with something on the channel you'll have to figure out what it is. There's 2 ways to go about this.
