  Are you using TZ-? or MDXXXX for the time zone argument? Did you rename your TX-?.CHN
to 
MDXXXX.CHN?
 The "*" simply indicate favorites in the TV-Guide.

  Alright, just when I had everything going just great w/ TVL I went and found another
listing that has the exact cable listing for my area, every single channel!!!
  So, off I go to set it up and I run into a small problem. My channels don't seem to
be filtering properly. Here is an example of the chn file:
  *02     2WDTN
  *03     3WXIX
  *06     5WLWT
  *57     6TBS
  *58     7PAXSAT
  77     8RELIG
  BTW the listing on Excite uses the channel # and the call letters so 2WDTN is how
it's listed there.

  However, all of the channels show up in TV-Guide w/ the Excite channel # not my filtered
#
  For example TBS shows up as channel 6 not channel 57
  And all of the channels show up even the ones w/o "*"'s.
  Any ideas?

  Tom
