Thank you. I did notice that button when I checked the channel list but did not know what it did so <br>
left it alone.<br>
<br>
My problem is that the channels in question already have an xmltvid which was previously correct, <br>
but for some reason no longer matches what SD says is right for those channels. What I need is to <br>
find a way to obtain the new values for those channels.<br>
