Manual recording not working
I made the switch over to epg123 the January WMC ended their guides. I don't remember when the problem started (could be since the switch over), but it has been close to a year at least- when I try to schedule a manual recording I get an invalid channel number error. Is this a common error or do I have something setup wrong? Thanks!

I haven't personally had this problem, but I use an HDHomeRun Prime with CableCard and do not remap any channels. I do see this old post from 2015 about someone having a similar problem, but there was no real solution, although it does seem like it may be related to remapping channels from their actual channel number to a different channel number.
Also, since that post is from 2015, and EPG123 didn't exist yet (or at least wasn't made public until 2016) it is unlikely to be a problem specific to EPG123.
Have you done any channel remapping? If so, can you use the actual channel number when setting up a manual record instead of the mapped channel number?
There might be some bug with WMC channel mapping but I'm not sure how you would go about fixing that. You can maybe take a look at the channels that don't work (if there are some that don't work and some that do, like in the old post above) and see if they look different than the ones that do work (by editing the channel and looking at the various source channels, etc).
