WNLO-DT, channel 45.1 does not work in WMC, but it works in JRMC

[sdowney717]

Somehow, WMC frequency assignment must be wrong?
45.1 no worky
45.2 worky
However with same hardware, running JR MEdia center, 45.1 works fine as it also does in the TV itself.

FCC says it transmits on digital 45.

Is there a way to open some file and modify the frequency assignment for 45.1?

We have a WNLO in the Buffalo NY market as well. Is that where you are ? Here it’s OTA 23.1 and 23.2

Is there anyone to email and tell them they screwed up channel assignments?
I have verified across multiple installs of WMC this problem.
And sub channel 21.2 is also screwed up, and cant be watched due to mis configuration.
That one is unwatchable and also claims to be FOX21 yet is supposed to be Hillsong and has incorrect guide data

But all the other channels are ok,

Add the station manually into WMC with the correct channel number using the "add missing channels" screen. If that is indeed the problem, it should work. Then manually associate the guide information with the new channel and disable the old listing in the guide.

[sdowney717]

I assume you put in the name, then the channel 45.1, then for the frequency, all it will take is 45 with no sub channel.
Ok, I tried it again, and it works.

Trying to modify the listing sources for EPG, It makes no sense to me what WMC does. The name WNLO_add goes away and it becomes WVBTH.
Renaming it back to WNLO does not help as 43.1 which used to be ok as it was has changed, WMC has modified 45.1, I now have two 45.1 channels and 43.1 has become 45.1.
Maybe wnlo 45.1 and wvbt 43.1 are the same channel?
I disabled the non working 45.1.
I will have to watch both on the TV's own tuner for awhile during the day and see if they are in fact the same exact thing.

Assigning a different channels guide data to another channel seems like could be a problem, if they are not actually broadcasting the same stuff all the time.

I think you used the wrong station's guide listing. There should be one for the old WNLO, thats the one you should reassign to the new WNLO you added.

You arent caught up in the frequency repacking are you? WNLO is set to move to ch14. Maybe Rovi jumped the gun and changed its guide ahead of the repack, thus breaking things. That would also mean that the station on ch14 should be broke too.

Go here, https://www.rabbitears.info/market.php, click on #43, Norfolk, and you'll see all the stations in your area that are going to be moving frequency shortly. You're going to be very busy keeping WMC working

That link seems to indicate that WNLO is a repeater of WVBT so the listings should be OK.
