Not sure my 1st reply made it to the list, but here's one way to
eliminate the message (or use the 'ignore them' method (which
I've used for months.)


...Unknown xmltv channel identifier: I125045.json.schedulesdirect.org - 
Skipping channel.

$ sqlite3 -line SchedulesDirect.DB 'SELECT * FROM channels WHERE 
station="125045"'
   lineup = USA-OTA-90210
  station = 125045
  channum = 32.5
selected = 0
  details = {"atscMajor":32,"atscMinor":5,"stationID":"125045","uhfVhf":24}
  
$ sqlite3 -line SchedulesDirect.DB 'UPDATE channels SET selected=0 WHERE 
station="125045"'

To look at multiple stations:
$ sqlite3 -line SchedulesDirect.DB 'SELECT * FROM channels WHERE station IN 
("124835","124741","125045")'
