jsut wanted to confirm the channel names that should show on the left side of the channel list for turner ( where you can remap channels) or you can look in HDhomerun app if you use one of their tuners.

  • 20.3 WBBHDT3 Nosey
  • 20.4 WBBHDT4 MeTOONS
  • 26.4 WZVN-DT4 getTV
  • 26.5 WZVN-DT5 True Crime
  • 26.6 WZVN-DT6 Quest
  • 36.8 WFTX-DT8 Court TV
  • 39.2 WXDT2 Movie Sphere
  • 43.4 WWDT-CD4 oxygen

Not the original poster, but I can also receive most of those channels from Punta Gorda. Here’s what I see in remap:

  • 20.3 WBBHDT3 Nosey

  • 20.4 WBBHDT4 MeTOONS

  • 26.4 WZVN-DT4 getTV

  • 26.5 WZVN-DT5 TrCrime

  • 26.6 WZVN-DT6 QUEST

  • 36.8 WFTX-DT8 CourtTV

Note the differences on 26.5, 26.6 and 36.8.

I don’t receive 39.2 or 43.4.

I don’t see any difference from what i posted above..

is that the same postal code? if not please let me know what yours is.

I am in 33983.

For 26.5 you posted True Crime, but mine shows it as TrCrime

For 26.6, you posted Quest, but mine shows QUEST

For 36.8, you posted Court TV (with space) but mine shows CourtTV (no space)

I don’t know if these minor differences matter or not.

Thanks @Eric-Lang

I think what you are seeing are the shortened names that come over the air in the signal, the actual EPG (when it is updated) should have the regular display name.

I should have specified they would not be exact.

The OP just didn’t post any channel names at all so just wanted to make sure they are the same

Looks correct!

Just so I know, how long does it usually take to get an update like this complete? My wife really wants her CourtTV for true crime stuff!

Thanks!

It depends. I’ve seen things updated in a couple days and sometimes a month or more. Sometimes I am told there won’t be an update due to channel being a low definition/power channel they won’t get EPG for.

For this particular lineup for this postal code so far it looks like they have added

  • 20.3 WBBHDT3 Nosey
  • 26.4 WZVN-DT4 getTV
