Lubbock Texas channel 32 is acting funny. Broadcasts on RF channel 33 with sub-channels 32-01, 32-02 and 32--03.

Channel 32-03 works fine on my H3 and theoretically the other sub-channels should follow suit.

While the H3 finds channels 32-01 and 32-02 on a scan with signal strength 100 on both, and both are listed with the "in Guide" 56 digital channels on the Over-the-Air (OTA) Channels when I go to the Guide they are both missing. I have no favorites lists, so this is the only guide on the H3.

I have deleted the missing channels and re-scanned twice, also rebooted the H3 twice.

I even disconnected the antenna , scanned (no channels found), re attached the antenna, re-scanned - 49 channels found, re-scanned 56 channels found, 32-01, 32-02 and 32-03 all in the in Guide list, SAVE. Go to the guide and only 32-00 and 32-03 are in my guide.

My antenna is an old style Channel Master 4228 classic 8 bay bow tie antenna Rabbitears.info shows the station is only 13.5 miles away and Lubbock is flat as a pancake topography wise. From the antenna it is about 25 ft of RG-6 to a Channel Master CM3414 4 bay amplifier/splitter that feeds my (1) OTA dongle for the H3, (2) a TiVo HD DVR, (3) a TiVo Roamio OTA DVR, and (4a) a TiVo Edge OTA DRV. All three TiVo's display channels 32-01, 32-02 and 32-03. My Hauppauge OTA HDTV tuner sees all three channels when I run TSReader Lite.

Anybody have any other suggestions as to how I can get these two OTA channels in my H3 Guide?
