Channel Name Changed - do I need to enable?

[graywolf]

Just saw messages for DirecTV 538 (Starz Encore Westerns) saying New Channel.
Only difference I see is the name change.
Do I need to Enable the Channel if it is already Enabled?
(Don't have new channels automatically enabled)

Easy under click on setup and click on setup video sources find your capture device click on in go in to channel setup fine that channel

I already have channel 538 (name STZENWS) enabled.
Wondering if I would need to disable that and enable 538 (named STZEWSS) or can just leave it.

Wondering if it would make a difference between SageTV or ScheduleDirect if I left the old named one.

That for you to decide graywolf

Sounds like the channel lineup changed (STZENWS vs STZEWSS). In Channel Setup, look closely at the Station ID # (on the right-hand side of the screen) for both old and new channels. They probably differ. The ID # will be greater than 10000 in order to get program guide updates; less than that will always show No Data in the Guide.

OK. Yes, see that they are different. So if I understand correctly, it is the Station ID # that controls the EPG info.

And if I looked far enough out, I see the old 538 starts having No Data on 8/10 but the new 538 has data beyond that.

Pointed me in the right direction for what I need/want to do.

Simply enable the one you want, and disable the one you don't want.

From the Guide, select Options -> Channel Manager. Scroll thru the list of channels and Select to enable/disable.

-OR-

From Setup -> Setup Video Sources -> select one of the tuners that provides access to the channel(s) of interest. Channel Setup -> scroll thru the channel list on the left hand side. Select the channel(s) of interest to enable/disable them.
