MeTV antenna and CATV issues in scheduling #102

I've been watching MeTV for years. It has been CATV exclusively for a while. Recently they've started a new channel up on the Cleveland Channel 19 tower. All well and good, it comes in well, but the listings are flakey on the terrestrial channel. While I get listings going out 2 weeks or more on the cable channel, the local broadcast channel is maybe 24 hours. This isn't a real big issue, but it would save some disk space if I could record from the local channel since this content is only 480p.

I sent an email Schedules Direct and this issue is resolved now. The channels I was having trouble with are local repeaters, which aren't listed in Schedules Direct. The way to fix it is to set the station ID identical to the CATV channel. The repeaters broadcast the scheduling for 24 hours.
