remapping channels for the digital conversion

[drewg]

Hi,

I'm running 6.4.8.1. Most of our local stations moved from their temporary to their post-transition frequencies around noon EDT. When I tried to tell SageTV about the change, I had nothing but problems, and I'm wondering what I was doing wrong.

Our NBC station moved from the 50's (55 I think) back down to 17. So I stopped sagetv, ran azap on channel 17 and verified a good signal. I then restarted sagetv, and tried to remap the physical channel from 55-17-1 to 17-17-1. I didn't get a signal. I had the same experience with channel 11, which also moved from the 50s back down to physical 11. I tried restarting sage, and still no joy. I finally deleted all the sources on that lineup, and did a full rescan. After doing that, things finally worked. The odd thing is that the channels showed up in the lineup as 17-17-1 (and 11-11-1) after the rescan. Exactly what I was trying to map them to..

The thing I'm concerned about is that when I first setup SageTV under 6.3.x, all tuners sharing a lineup had to have the same channels enabled/disabled, so I'm using "(area) Digital Broadcast" for my 2 tuners pointed at the commercial towers, and "(area) Local Broadcast" for my 1 tuner pointed at PBS. When I first set this up, I had to manually remap my PBS station to make it work. If manual remapping is broken in this version, that's a bummer..
Or is lineup sharing now fixed in 6.4.8?

So, the exact same thing happened with my PBS station. I could not manually remap its channel, and had to delete then re-add the source, and do a channel scan. Since my PBS is at reduced power for the next 4 months, I may be back with QAM questions if it ends up being as flaky as I suspect that it will be.
