I know this subject was covered, but it was never really solved in previous posts, other then to rescan and possibly lose other channels.
If you've scanned for channels and for some reason, it did not pick up a station, or if your connected to an antenna, and the antenna is pointed in the wrong direction, you won't be able to receive the station in your channel lineup.
I was frustrated and did not want to lose my station list of stations from other town, I have aim my antenna in a completely different direction.
Here is how to solve this problem...
1. First you'll need to find your country's (Real Channel) to frequency list. Not the virtual channel, but the actual frequency that it transmits on.
If you live in the USA then this link will show you the real frequency listing.

2. Goto to settings in the NPVR program and select Devices,
3. Pick a ATSC tuner, Right mouse click and select Setup Device
4. In Channels.. select drop down to Manual Scan
5. You should notice a frequency that is a 6 digit number... From the link look at the chart, for the real channel.
If you can't find the real channel number, do a google search for (Station Call Sign) WINK real TV channel or use this link
https://nocable.org/browse-stations
6. Enter the station call sign, and it will tell you a wealth of information... Look down the list for RF Channel.
in this example it is Virtual channel 11, but RF channel 51.
7. From the previous link, RF Channel 51 show the following data
Channel 51 Low Frequency 692 Video Carrier 693.25 [B]
Audio Frequency 697.75 and Upper Frequency 689
[B][COLOR="#FF0000"]8, Notice the Video Frequency is 693.25 MHZ[/COLOR], you'll need to change this to KHz , simply enter the number and add a 0 to the end, making the number 693250 to the frequency input value for the channel scan, and enter the Scan button.
9. Hit OK and the station will be added to the station list, if one is found.
This is great for those who have stations in different directions and a general scan will erase the previous channel scans.
Hope this helps out
