Guide Channels Missing USA-OTA36801 Columbus, GA

I'm having two guide issues:

1. WTVM Columbus, GA virtual channels 9.1 and 9.10:  We receive guide data for WTVM-ABC, virtual channel 9.1, as expected.  However, this channel's signal strength is poor and most of the time it is unwatchable.  WTVM broadcasts the identical programming on virtual channel 9.10, via low power translator WCGZ-LD, which has a much stronger signal due to its close proximity to us.  This allows us to not only view it, but reliably record from Emby.  However, we cannot schedule recordings from virtual channel 9.10 as there is no guide data for it.  I see two possible remedies:

  1.  The guide data service provides listings for virtual channel 9.10, WCGZ-LD which are identical to virtual channel 9.1,WTVM.
  2. Would there be some method within Emby to overlay the guide from virtual channel 9.1 to 9.10?

2. The same low power translator, WCGZ-LD, also broadcasts three sub-channels:

  1. Virtual channel 47.2, Telemundo
  2. Virtual channel 47.3, Peachtree Sports Network
  3. Virtual channel 47.4, Outlaw

Of interest to us is virtual channel 47.4, Outlaw (westerns channel) there is no guide data being provided for this channel.  We'd very much like to see guide data provided for it.

@martincomWhat is the Guide Lineup identifier ? You will see that in Live TV Server Settings setup tab.  It will be in the form of USA-xxxxx-DEFAULT

Gracenote do not normally include low power stations in their lineups. I need to know zip code/lineup identifier to start looking and also what TV market does your area come under.

I see these markets listed for Alabama on https://www.rabbitears.info/

Birmingham, Alabama
Mobile, Alabama
untsville, Alabama
Montgomery, Alabama
Dothan, Alabama
