QAM for HD digital channels w/STB and S-Video capture on same channel lineup?

[jprine01]

Hi. This is my second system with SageTV but on my first setup I hadn't had the opportunity to run into this problem.
I'm trying to replace all my 15$ a month HD digital boxes with SageTV.

I'm using a HDHomeRun QAM to tune all my local unencrypted HD channels (Which was the only HD channels I was receiving)
Then I have a PVR-500 and USB-UIRT with 2 SD set top boxes.

I already had the HDHR working great, then i program the IR for the set top box and realize they are working off the same channel set and there is no way to tell the HDHR to tune channels 200-206, but the set top box to tune the others.

How can I use 2 different channel lists, but get the same station data on both. I am tempted to use the OTA Digital list for HDHR QAM since the air times for the shows are probably always the same.

Any non-workaround way to make it work?

Have you tried using a zip code near yours that has the same line up?

Or another cable company or OTA channel lineup that covers your stations. Then all you need to do is remap the logical and physical channel numbers so that it tunes properly as well as showing up on your guide properly. I'm using three different lineups, for three different tuners, and they integrate just fine.

I ended up reprograming the logical and physical numbers for my OTA.
It wasn't very many stations so no big deal really.

Thanks

Can you provide details on what you did exactly?

I have a similar problem- it would be nice if SageTV let you have multiple sets of defined channels per lineup.

Thanks.

Nevermind, I just needed to RTFM.

To summarize:

There is a "Remap" button for each channel description in the Channel Setup screen. It let's you map (or unmap) logical and physical channels. A channel could be both logically and physically remapped.

Logical remapping changes where you see the channel in the Program Guide.

Physical remapping changes how SageTV tunes the channel.

When I use the remap button, all it does it do both a logical and physical. Doing the physical remap is the problem I have. How do I change logical without changing physical? I dont see options for each.

Aren't you using the SageMC STV? If so, you should use the default STV (SageTV3.xml) for all configuration issues because it always has the most up-to-date code for configuring the tuners and so on. It would be difficult for the custom STVs to keep up with the configuration tweaks that get added in each version.

If you don't see the remapping options shown on p. 161 of the v6.1 PDF manual, then your Channel Setup screen is out of date.

Thanks Andy! All this time, I thought the channel setup screen I saw in the SageMC stv was up to date and the same as SageTV3.xml's (version 6.1) version. This helped me tremendously!
