Local Broadcast Channels Have Wrong EPG Information

[jamesnw]

I have a Vbox Cat's Eye DTA-150 digital ATSC tuner. When I select the Local Broadcast for Boston, MA (02115) and auto-scan for digital channels, at least 2/3 of the detected channels do not match the EPG information on the zap2it website. Most of the detected channels seem to match the listings on the zap2it website when I play the channel and manually compare the current shows to the listings online. The problem is that SageTV is assigning these channels to the incorrect stations either due to a bug or an issue with zap2it.

I think I may be suffering from a second issue as well. On two of the stations that are detected, the sub-channel numbers seem to be swapped and shuffled among their respective station. For example, when I tune to 2-1, I end up seeing the show that zap2it says is playing on 2-2, and vice versa. The other station has 4 sub-channels and they are shuffled by 1 sub-channel, meaning 4-1 is really showing 4-2 material, 4-2 is showing 4-3 material, 4-3 showing 4-4, and 4-4 showing 4-1. This means that even if I can get the above EPG issue resolved, these two stations will still have their EPG data assigned incorrectly amongst their sub-channels. I also do not know if this is an issue with SageTV or zap2it since I do not have another program to tune with otherwise I would verify if 2-1 and 2-2 show the same material in another application. I suppose there is a chance that the stations really did swap their sub-channels around and zap2it just has not updated yet. If you know of a simple way to test this please let me know.

Is there a simple way I can remap what station the channel is assigned to? SageTV properly detected all of the channels that I can receive so I really only want to remap the "logical" station so the correct EPG information is available. I have tried for a week straight to add channels manually and I have finally decided that I need help. At least half of the time the channels will not tune after adding them. I have messed with .frq files, wiping EPG settings out of configs, reinstalling, etc with no end in sight. Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I forgot to mention my version information: v6.0.14 with the updated DShowPlayer.dll and TSSplitter.ax files. Before replacing the TSSplitter.ax file I was unable to tune to 2-1, 2-2, 44-1, 44-2, 44-3, and 44-4 even though auto-scan would detect them. Now they all tune properly except for the fact that the sub-channels are now shuffled on these 2 stations. Maybe this is not a coincidence after all... I hope it is related!
