offset, and modify the lineup as needed. You may also upload a logo for the property that will be
displayed in the upper right corner of the EPG.
When modifying the EPG channel lineup, the channels can be entered in any order, as the COM46
card will automatically sort them by channel number when it builds the guide. As with the tuning
table on the TuneAll page, you may edit the EPG information in its text field on the page, but it is
recommended that you make all changes in a separate text editor and save a copy of the text file
for easy retrieval in the case of any information loss.
Example:
The first line of text is:
33-1 621-65535-sd 1 65
RF channel 33-1 is playing DIRECTV channel 621 on QAM6 #1 Port 65
Changing the channel designation will show the channel as mapped and will send PSIP
information to the TV.
2-0 621-65535 –sd-1-65
Now DIRECTV channel 621 will be distributed through the RF network on ch 33-1, but the EPG
data will display CH 621 information as playing on channel 2. PSIP will instruct the TV to look
for programming on 33-1 when CH 2 is selected.
Once you are finished entering all of the information necessary to build your EPG, simply click
the “Submit Query” button at the bottom of the screen. Doing so will provide you with a screen
that reports all of the data the COM46 card has been sent. This screen will look similar to the
resulting screen after clicking the EPGLoad button. Once the EPG has had enough time to
configure, the resulting guide channel should look like Figure 48 below.
