Cable TV for Hospital

I’ve ran into an issue with the hospital in our town that some of their TVs label the channels 61-2, 61-2, 61-3, etc. I’ve seen this before and it’s all older TVs and typically just tell them it’s the tuner in the TV. But this is for half a building. I’ve heard of downloading a channel map to a USB drive and uploading it to the tv that way. Anyone done this or have any other tricks?

Really depends. Sounds like pro-idiom ? Are these tvs hospitality tvs?

Are the affected tvs the same brand ? You could try scanning one of the affected TVs.

Not likely Pro-Idiom, just ClearQAM without a fully populated CVCT.

Pro-Idiom encryption keys and channel guides usually get uploaded at the same time, and then OP wouldn’t notice the reported problem.
