I have the channel lineup that I want. The only thing is that I want to find one specific channel. The channel is NBC (11.1). Unfortunately, the first time I scanned NBC wasn't available. Now a few months later, Comcast changed the lineup, so that NBC is now available. My other TVs are now getting NBC. I only want to find this new channel without resetting my channel lineup. How do that the easiest/fastest way?<div>
<br></div><div>My thoughts:</div><div>1. Nuke the channel lineup, rescan and repopulate the channel lineup along with redoing the xml matching etc. This is the most work and would truly suck.</div><div><br></div><div>2. Use the sctescan utility and attempt to rescan finding the channel, then manually insert into the db.</div>
<div><br></div><div>3. Undo my invisible channels and manually walk through all the channels and find the missing station. This would suck since there are many many channels.</div><div><br></div><div>Any other thoughts?</div>
