[QUOTE="whurlston, post: 179670, member: 47415"] TMS assigns an ID to a channel. I assume that Yahoo is using the TMS ID but I have not looked to verify that. IDs are assigned so that if you have say your local NBC station, it can be on channel 3 for OTA, channel 6 on cable, channel 15 on Dish, etc... Instead of having multible entries in their database, TMS keeps one entry per channel and then maps the channel to a specific channel number on each headend/lineup. That saves database entries because they only have to have one set of schedules for the channel. If you download any of your lineups, The Weather Channel ID should match the ID (11187) I posted above, regardless of the provider or channel number it is on. [/QUOTE]
