How to add channels?

[orionhunter34]

I'm using TelusTV and the EPG programming is working fine. However, I have some channels that are not on the EPG guide, nor are they listed in Zap2It.
For example, I can watch channel 160 (EWTN) on my TelusTV box but it does not show up on the EPG guide on sageTV. I don't think this is the fault of SageTV as it is not listed on Zap2It either.

So, I added the channel 160 but there is no EPG data for it. How can I add EPG data for these extra channels that are not shown in the extended package?

I should note that EWTN listing data is available under other service providers like Eastlink. If I choose Eastlink in SageTV the channel data is available but the channel numbers are wrong. Is there a way I can import EPG data from another provider for this channel?

Okay, I got it to work this time. I added it and station ID and now it works.

In case you are wondering how I got the station ID, I changed my channel provider to Eastlink and then it downloaded the programming data for that. Then I switched back to TelusTV as my provider. Then I added a channel to the lineup. In this case it was EWTN and the station ID automatically showed up for it from the EPG data from Eastlink. And now I get programming data for that channel.

Station IDs are also visible on the Zap2it site - while looking at the listings, hover/click on a station name and the ID number is part of the url for that station.
