What Live TV channel when no guide exists

I just setup an HDHomeRun device and the Live TV/DVR functionality. Very slick so far. Except I’m picking up one station that Plex doesn’t have a guide for. While I understand there would be no guide for it, I would still like the option to watch the channel. If I don’t pick a guide from the list it doesn’t get added to my stations even if I check the box to enable it. I guess I could it tell it’s some random station, but that seems silly. Is there a way way to watch the station even though there isn’t a guide for it?

In short no. Have you tried other zip codes closer to the tower for the station? Other users have found that trying zip codes in the middle of the broadcast area have allowed them to configure all channels that they receive.

Picking a zip code closer did help. I had to find just the right one though. If I got too close, some of my other stations weren’t available. I get channels from multiple directions. It might be nice to be able to provide multiple zip codes or have plex try nearby areas.

Great. If you can provide the station information and zip code you originally used along with the zip code that worked I can pass that on to one of the Plex Employees that handles reporting issues to Gracenote.

My local area code is 97355. The zip code I used is 97301. That station that was missing is channel 2.4 Stadium (KATUDT4).

Thank you for your help.

One last follow up is there a 2.1, 1.2, 2.3 channels? If so I assume they were able to be configured.

Yes, they worked just fine and show up in the guide.

Thanks. I sent the info to the Plex Employee. Plex does not always get notified by Gracenote when an issue is resolved but if they do I will post a message when it is fixed.
