I noticed a few days ago that the PSIP on KUPX was offline according to my box. It was reporting 29.3, 29.4 and 29.5 instead of the virtual numbers. It was fixed later that day so I didn't think too much of it. Now I'm seeing the original virtual channels (16.1 Ion main, 16.2 qubo and 16.3 Ion Life) plus three new channels with no data labelled 16.100 ABx 100, 16.500 qubo 2, and 16.501 Life 2.

I have 3 digital TVs now. Two of them pick up channel 16. One of them lost channel 16 a couple of months ago. I have rescanned several times and still can't receive it. I'm sure it's not lack of signal. I have plenty of signal. Maybe I'll try re-scanning yet again.
Also, on another of my TVs I have trouble with channel 4's subchannels. I delete all of 4's subchannels and a day later they magically reappear. Annoying. I don't want them. They are just in the way when I want to click from 4news to 5news.

Is there a difference on that second TV between deleting channels and selecting favorite ones? What's the make & model?

It's a 32 inch Vizio, model E320VA. It allows deleting channels but no favorites. Channels 4.3 and 4.30 have been deleted (many times in fact). The only way to actually get them to go away is to re-scan and delete, then they come back the next day. I actually get 2 channels labelled 4.30, the second one is black and I can't leave that channel using the channel up/down button, only by punching in another channel number.
I've decided that the Vizio firmware is just not ready for prime time. I could be wrong.

I looked at the manual and by deleting do you mean use the "Skip Channel" feature on the Channels menu? If you're also having problem with 4.30 it sounds like some old PSIP data is stuck in the TV. The manual says that Additional Scan doesn't remove old data but adds new data if it finds it. If you can find a way to completely wipe all PSIP data and start over and see if that fixes the issue.

Yes, I mean "Skip Channel".
I did yet another re-scan and as usual channels 4.3 and 4.30 showed up. I then did a skip channel on them and they don't show up. But they probably will tomorrow.
I won't buy another Vizio.
