Missing PBS Digital channels

Over the weekend I noticed that I am no longer able to pull in the PBS Digital stations either through my antenna or through TWC via my sets QAM tuner.  My set seems confused.  Tuning to 10-1 finds nothing, tuning to 8-1 redirects to 10-1 and then, finding nothing there, redirects to the analog channel 8. :bang:

Anyone else having problems?

It is a problem with a software upgrade from Friday.

Software upgrade to what? MPTV?

I only watch HDTV OTA. Yesterday I noticed that everthing was coming in on digital channel 8, nothing was coming in on digital 10. Also the Create channel is switched with the Kid's channel.

I also noticed that 6 came in as 33 once in a while, and 58's EPG data is missing, again.

Thanks for the post Dave.  Apparently the problem was fixed since I am now getting the channels OTA.  Still can't find the channels on TWC with my QAM tuner.

As for the channel locations, according to AnntenaWeb (see home page for the link) channel 10's OTA digital frequency assignment is 8.1 and channel 6's is 33.1.  My set automatically redirects the channel displayed, I'm guessing from something it picks up from broadcast transmission.  Once I tune to 8.1 it displays as 10.1 from there on and I can tune to 10.1 directly.  Took me a while to figure this out when I first got my set.  Not sure how your set handles this.
