Help with tuners from ATI, Hauppauge, AverMedia and more.

Can I manually edit the WMC channel file?

I previously set up my computer with a WinTV USB Tuner and since it's straight CATV there was a lot of custom digital channel additions (e.g., 5.1, 3.1, etc.). Is there a file in WMC that I can manually add the channels to? I have to set up a new computer and hate the thought of going through the WMC menus to add the channels manually through the WMC settings.

You can use Guidetool. It is much faster than going through the menus.
