Thanks for that.

Normally that's true but it seems that there is almost always something that comes up that needs a reset such as my test the other day trying to find why there are no TV Movie Ratings (1-5 stars).

I think you saw that thread.
Castius:
If also like to add.
That once a channel is matched. It should be removed from the list. Or something to make it easier as you go through them all.
CountryBumkin:
That's a good idea.
The problem (just to restate) is that matching TV Stations to EPG Guide data is difficult when the Station ID and EPG station id don't match. I have a lot of these. I now keep a separate list (in Excel) with the various station numbers and the matches (station ID letters, names, etc.).
So in this example I have channels, 18.1, 18.2, and 18.3 - but only the first has a positive match. the other two require some guess work. Same for other channels (notice sub channels under "24").
DocLotus:
I see your dilemma. Fortunately in my case, all my OTA channels match so I really have no need to ever see the match up screens.
Wonder how MS did it in WMC? I never saw any matching screens, must be done automatically somehow or another. Would be nice if MC could do the same.
imeric:
I agree with you all it's a pain to do these auto-match (and it happened to me a couple of times where I needed to reset everything...)
BUT: Taking customization away from the users may not be a good thing...For example if you have both a capture card/STB setup and OTA card(s) you may want to do some cross referencing of different EPG sources ie associate a Satellite Channel with an OTA one and vice versa...
IMHO MC team should fix what's broken first and not make drastic changes on the TV config setup...A pain but it's true that when it works it works...
AND...I'D rather see these 3 things in order of importance that currently are a showstopper for me to use JRiver for my TV playing/recording needs:
1. Improvements for recording rules related to sports (Glad to see other folks have posted similar issues of not being able to record games of a favorite team so I'm not the only one...)
2. Ability to have Multiple folders or hard drives for TV recording (Quick workaround could be to set it per profile ex one for OTA another one for STB..)
3. Commercial skipping visibility on the playing progress bar.
Having said that when can we expect 21.0.3?
@COuntryBumkin thx for your sorting suggestions!
