Have you contacted the station to see if they're having problems, or talked to someone in the area that also has a HD tuner?
By the way, where are you, what are the call letters of the station?

If the station changes the PSIP channel identifier, a rescan should correct the problem (should being the operative word). A few questions:
1. Is your VOOM already mapped for your DMA or did it come another DMA?
2. What software version are you using? (as I recall, 6.10 and 6.20 had a variety of issues with PSIP and their ability to handle dynamic PSIP).
3. If this channel was not mapped in your DMA, have you tried to delete and add this specific channel?
4. Also, why does the FCC show WOWK as having two DTV stations (both 13 and 47)?

I believe the reason they show 2 stations is one is analog and the other is high definition. the analog is on 13 and the hd is in the upper channels. with an attenna it is 13-1. the station just emailed me back and said what you were talking about that their device that sends out their psip data needed rebooting and that it should be fine now. I will check it when i go home today and hopefully all will be good. they told me to contact them if the problem wasent corrected.
I hope everything is back in working order. The VOOM STB is a stickler for PSIP compliance...if the PSIP datastream is out-of-whack then blank screens and receiver freezes will likely occur. I'm knew one of the channels was analog...just not sure which one since my query only looked for digital stations which come back as DT (analog are reported as TV). Oh well, it's close enough for government work.
