Fox Cities TV (formerly Fox Cities HD) is an independent blog and reader-driven community for television lovers in the Green Bay, Appleton and Oshkosh, Wisconsin area. We aim to be a place where TV watchers in Northeast Wisconsin can come to learn about what's happening in local (and national) television, interact with other TV viewers and express themselves about TV issues.
The website was created and is managed by Mark David Zahn, an avid Internet, entertainment and electronic enthusiast. He currently resides in Appleton, WI, where he makes his living in radio and dabbles in computer building, web community building, independent media, high-definition TV and home theater. Mark can be contacted directly here.

I don't believe there is a solution for it, at least none that I've found. From what I've read, Microsoft doesn't seem too committed to providing solutions to it either. I guess if you don't go with a paid service like TiVo, you get what you pay for, so to speak.
The only subchannel I regularly record from is WPNE-HD (38.5). I usually go to WPT.org and peruse the listings every couple weeks and set up manual recordings.
Assuming you aren't already
Assuming you aren't already using satellite or cable, the only possible workaround to get the subchannel show listings in the electronic programming guide is to use listings for satellite or cable instead of Over-The-Air and then remap the channels. All satellite and cable providers are required to carry at least the first subchannel.
What I don't understand is TimeWarner is listed as having been the first cable provider to carry all PBS subchannels as of last year, but looking at the TW TV guides in various places on the internet only shows them as carrying the first subchannel. And maybe one other one, I forget. But definitely not all four of them as of looking last week.
MCE is crippled for Over-the-Air listings. MCE is also the ONLY HTPC software that cares if those DRM copy-protection flags are on, and since these things have been going on for at least two years minimum, it's obvious Microsoft has little intention of fixing them.
