I let it run for the afternoon and added a bunch of test recording and it seemed to be working fine with BTV 4.8.2, Ext. 1.70 and Fusion 3.68.04.
It seemed so illogical that the version of BTV would have any effect on the communication between Externinator and FusionHDTV, if Externinator can still extract and display the scheduled shows from BTV, then it should be able to send it to the Fusion scheduler, right? Of course, I have no idea what is going on in the backgound but is seems like that should be the case, so I was hoping that I could reinstall 4.9 and the problem would have ironed itself out. No such luck. I did notice in the log that the channel mapping error didn't occur before I upgraded to 4.9.
At 9:23 I reopened Externinator after installing 4.9 and based on the same scheduled recordings that existed before I updated, there was a new channel not mapped error, which continued to repeat itself with each log update.
