How to see what the RF frequency (real channel#) of a channel is

#1

For an established channel, whether one I added, or was scanned in properly, is there a way to see what the underlying RF channel frequency is?

I know when I add a channel, I get to input that RF channel. But afterwards, I haven't found a way to view or edit that information.

Thanks.

In the guide select the channel you want to see the frequency for (left most column) then select edit channel. Then select edit sources, for each source you highlight in the list of sources, the frequency it will tune for that channel is listed at the bottom.

A much easier method is to use the EPG123 client and look at the TuningInfo column.

I think this has been requested before. It would be nice to be able to edit the tuning frequency rather than having to re-scan after repack changes. Is that possible? (Via EPG123)

I've been messing with this just recently, despite W7 WMC asking for freq to add channels, it really wants channel number - as it will only accept 2 characters.
I was adding additional sub-channels, and went to HDHR tuning for existing subs' actual frequency, to Wiki to convert back to channel, and back to WMC.
