What I mean is that even if a channel isn't included in the channels I scan, I still end up getting EPG data for it. I'm scanning just the handful of channels listed above to get ALL the guide data available. That's what seems odd. How do I just scan for EPG? Is that "Find EPG" vs "Collect EPG"? But that seems to bring up a similar interface where it wants me to add channels one by one.

I've already removed the frequencies that timed out, so I guess that was worth doing. Do you know why there isn't a mapping between the channel numbers? How would one normally figure out what channels to scan, short of scanning all of them, seeing which ones time out, and then just doing those? I have now seen on one occasion the description in the program I wasn't. All the data is there over the air, I just seem to be picking it up sporadically for some reason. That's why I think I need to continue...

Attached are the logs from most runs I have done so far. I have narrowed down that I only seem to get anything on scanning these channels within EPG Center: 7 9 14 15 20 21 23 24 26 31 32 34 35 36 However, this includes the EPG data for a much larger number of channels. In other words, it does not appear there is any relationship between the channel in EPG and the channel on TV. These just seem to be the channels that pick up some data. I've removed the other ones to run more "optimized" scans that...

No, neither my TV nor a separate TV set top box has any kind of Internet connection. I just did it last night and it ran for several hours (mainly given that on a lot of channels, I do get that no signal error, so it takes a while on those - I probably need to shorten the timeout or something). I'd like to re-run and see if I can get it with more descriptions and maybe more time, as some channels, including those that previously had it, are now missing guide data. This time around, some of the channels...

I tried it with a few more channels as well and picked up channel 14 and 50 as well, even though I didn't specify 50, so maybe it seems the numbering isn't 1:1. I also noticed the menu tops out at channel 51, but there are channels in my area with higher channel numbers - all the way to 66. Is there a reason it stops at 51 in the menu? So far I seem to be getting only the program name with no description, unlike what's shown on the TV - is this typically caused by configuration settings in EPG Center?...

Additionally, to add onto this, channel 4 (with its subchannels) all have guide data as well. So something is not right that it was never able to pick up any signal on those. Like I said, Windows Media Center picks up every channel perfectly just fine using the same tuner, though of course it doesn't process EPG. So I don't think the "lack of signal" errors are accurate here.

Thanks for the response! It doesn't make sense to me though, because channel 14 does have guide data (it and its subchannels). My TV is able to pick up the current program info just fine. Is there any way to add all of the channels at once? The only way to add a channel I can see is on the ATSC tab, change the channel in the dropdown and hit update. Doing this manually for every single channel one by one would be annoying. I don't want to filter anything at all, I just want to get ALL the data available....
