Server Version#:4.125.1  
Player Version#:1.89.1.107-20abacd1  
In the channel matching window, the left side lists channel 44.2 with the correct call letters. In the drop-down list to the right, channel 44.2 does not appear. I have tried clicking on rescan, but nothing happens, and 44.2 is still missing from the drop-down list.

We would likely need to see your [server logs](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/) after trying to rescan to see what is happening.

This is the local web app version number. On the left side under your server name there will be another “General” section of settings for your server which will show the server version number.

This is a lineup issue

I need details of the TV Market you receive the channels for and if it is OTA as opposed to cable. See this pinned forum topic which outlines how to report these issues. I am afraid I do have a backlog of these to go through

See this pinned topic within the Live TV & DVR forum category  
[Reporting Plex DVR Lineup Inaccuracies - Live TV & DVR - Plex Forum](https://forums.plex.tv/t/reporting-plex-dvr-lineup-inaccuracies/425001)

Please add the details to the linked forum thread  
Also would be good to establish what these web sites show for your zip code for channel 44.2

> View a TV Antenna Transmitter Map for Phoenix. Review TV antenna transmitter locations for Phoenix, AZ 85007 with a list of technical information by TV Channel.

Enter your zip code in the Addresses (optional) field and click on search

and also find the OTA TV Market in this listing

Please collate all the information and add to the forum thread mentioned in the pinned topic
