Recognizing channel(s)
Recognizing channel(s)
Posted this on OSMC forum and either no one could (or would 
help me on this. So, I thought maybe this might be the better place....thx in advance
Using OSMC w/TVH and there is 1 channel that TVH says is good, but somehow OSMC isn't picking it up. Using the web interface into TVH, (Configuration/DVB Inputs/Services) the channels (main + 2 "sub" digital ch.) show up. Then in Configuration/DVB Inputs/Muxes) the Mux shows up as OK in Scan results. Both have the mux/services Enabled checked. Yet, in OSMC/Live TV, the channel doesn't exist.
What I have noticed is that this channel uses 2 different frequencies (1 in UHF and the other looks to be in VHF...which I believe to be fairly common). The UHF ch. scan shows good, VHF scan fails (since my antenna is primarily UHF, I'm not surprised). Both frequencies indicate the primary channel call sign with a "-HD" attached (which may not mean anything at all).
Any ideas what I may be missing here? Thanks in advance.....

Services will only appear in Kodi (using pvr.hts) if they've been mapped to a channel shown in "Channels / EPG" tab in the webui. But remember you must have the working version of the service linked to the named channel and not the broken one.

Mark,
I appreciate the help. It would seem the 1 channel was not automatically mapped (or even existed) in Channels/EPG. I created/linked it manually and that fixed it right up.
Thx for the assistance!!...Cheers....Mark Clarkstone wrote:
