So I discovered this morning that I actually do receive an NBC station through my minimal cable service (huzzah!), but that the EPG marked it as the general purpose TWC channel (that runs the same generic "show" all day long). Obviously this isn't very useful, especially for recording purposes. Is there a way to fix this? I couldn't find any MC options, but I'm thinking that at the least there is an XML file that I could edit? There appears to be some sort of unique channel ID, can I just change that (in my presumed XML file) and let MC update using the new ID?

Thanks for any pointers,
Jon

You can run EPG update manually once, when it gets to the part of "matching channels to their xmltv ID" part, select the correct XMLTV ID for the channel.

You can run EPG update manually once,

Can you elaborate on how to do this? I thought you meant "scan for channels", but when I ran that it did the scan thing for a while and when I came back the scan progress window had disappeared and I was looking at the same channel line up that was there when I left.

"Load Program Guide...", not "Scan for channels...".

If I understand you correctly, you have a channel, say, channel 5, that actually shows NBC, but the guide says it's something else.  There must be another channel in the guide that says it's NBC right?  When you run Load Program Guide, using one of the XMLTV options, you will reach a step where you match your channels with XMLTV IDs.  There you can match your "channel 5" with the XMLTV ID for the NBC station.

This appears to have worked. Thank You!!!
