Missing range of channels when using EPG123 (newbie setup)
Portland Oregon Antenna lineup. Gets the info from schedules direct. 97124
WMC missing channels from 7-21 when using EPG123.
Example of missing channel: 8.1. KGW tv
This channel is listed in the list I see in the lineup in EPG123.
The missing channels are not seen on the listing on the left on EPG123 client. They are visible on the right hand list.
The result is the missing channels don't show up in WMC channel guide.
If I go back to the Microsoft provided program guide the channels appear. Repeatable on second WMC.
EPG123 is perfect if I get this to work. What did I miss during setup?
Best Regards,

For your example of 8.1, you have to manually add the VHF channels to the guide. WMC does not scan the VHF band (channels 2 - 13) for ATSC transmissions for some unknown reason. Refer to the website (http://epg123.garyan2.net/tools/#vhfAddChannel)
Base on your zip code, you will need to add:
8.1, 8.2, 8.3 (frequency 8)
10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 (frequency 10)
12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 12.4 (frequency 12)
32.1, 32.2, 32.3 (frequency 5)

8.1, 8.2, 8.3 (frequency 8)
10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 (frequency 10)
12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 12.4 (frequency 12)
32.1, 32.2, 32.3 (frequency 5)

When using MS/Rovi, they provide your tuner setups to include the VHF band. The tuner doesn't actually scan them. Since we denied the guide ToS, we dont get that tuner information and have to program it ourselves.

Channels 2.x are on UHF channel 24
Channels 6.x are on UHF channel 25
Channels 10.x are on UHF channel 48 (probably don't get these)
Actually, in the client, you can scroll right until you see the TuningInfo column. You will see the physical channels there.
