ClearQAM mapping question

[rykr]

I have a PVR-500 and a ClearQAM dual tuner in my rig. When I set the tuners up I get channels 2-99 for the PVR-500. The ClearQAM tuner sees 44 channels with numbers like 2-1, 4-1, etc, etc. Almost all of those show 'no data'. I've set these up several times before.

What is the recommended way to map those? I can select the 2-1 channel and go into remap and map it to the right zap2it channel but it asks me if I want to keep the 2-1 logical number or use 231. What do most people choose? Do most people have channel # 2, 2-1, 4, 4-1, etc, etc?

Just curious about best practices when it comes to remapping clearqam channels. I know about the user manual section. It just tells you how to map it, not how you *should* map it.

Thanks!

What ClearQAM tuners are you using? There should be specific instructions on how to set those up with Sage in the FAQs and in the forum. Usually for ClearQAM you want the channel number and station name be exactly the same as in the zap2it guide. So you would use 231 and the exact station name such as WXYZDT. (for example.)
