PBS Digital Schedule incorrect - how to fix?

Howdy all. I live in Colorado Springs, CO, and am having a bit of trouble w/ the local PBS station and it's digital broadcast.

My local PBS is broadcast out of Pueblo, CO and is Rocky Mountain PBS / KTSC Channel 8/8.1.

The scheduling information from SnapStream is correct for the non-digital PBS. The schedule for the digital channel is identical. Note, I see the same scheduling info from my local cable provider for both digital and non-digital, and also browsing the PBS website, and any other tv scheduling website I've looked at (TV guide, TitanTV, etc)

However, the digital channel does NOT broadcast the same schedule the non-digital channel does. I actually called the local PBS station about this, and they confirmed they were seeing the same thing - the digital broadcast does not match their scheduling information. However, they had no idea why, or how to fix it, or where I could get correct scheduling information for the digital broadcast.

So, today, I was browsing the PBS website to see if there was maybe a single national "PBS HD" feed that was being rebroadcast. While browsing through various schedules, there was a link off to the side saying "note: Pueblo Digital (KTSC DT-8) listings are now available". Clicking this link took me to the web page and schedule for Wyomings PBS station, KCWC and their digital broadcast. Low and behold, it does appear to match what is playing on my local digital broadcast!

So, my question is, how can I get the schedule for this PBS channel (Wyoming KCWC Digital, 4.2) to show up in place of the schedule for my PBS channel? I'm using SnapStream.net for scheduling, but I don't see any way I can customize my lineup to include that channel. It appears that through the channel setup in BTV I can select to add a channel, but it's not evident where or if it will pull the schedule from?

Is there any way this can be done? I would be *so* grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks!
