TV Guide shows channels in triplicate under the date?

I searched the forums and saw the suggestion to export recordings, rename gbpvr.db3 to gbpvr.db3.old then delete my adapter and recreate.

I have a HVR-1800MCE. I'm running 1.2.9 and using the zap2xml scrape to get channel guide.

Issue appeared for the first time after I did 2 things, so not sure which actually caused the problem. I added a splitter and tuned HD channels. I also reran zap2xml batch file - I'm under the impression I'll have to redo the batch file at least every 10 days?

Recordings still work, but the multiple channel #'s is annoying since I know it didn't do it before, ie, I broke it.

Opening the xmltv.xml I saw entries like this:

<channel id="I10786.labs.zap2it.com">
<display-name>2 2</display-name>
<display-name>2</display-name>
<display-name>2</display-name>
</channel>
<channel id="I10762.labs.zap2it.com">
<display-name>4 4</display-name>
<display-name>4</display-name>
<display-name>4</display-name>
</channel>
<channel id="I10691.labs.zap2it.com">
<display-name>5 5</display-name>
<display-name>5</display-name>
<display-name>5</display-name>
</channel>

I was thinking I could just remove 2 of the <display-name> lines per channel ID, but that gave me (no show details) for channel 2 and 4 after making that change?

I did spend time searching the forums for channel duplicate and other variants and didn't find what I took as an answer.

I deleted the QAM entry for my HVR 1800 in attempts to get it back the way it was.

you can just untick the ones you dont use

The first <display-name> field is always used as the channel's name, but unfortunately your xmltv grabber is generating crappy names.

See if there any options to zap2xml to provide real names. Remember though, if you do manage to get a file with real names, you're probably best to delete your gbpvr.db3 file and configure it up again from scratch, otherwise the old names will hang around in your database.
