Can't find channel

[Kitchengoblin]

Well, that might explain why it was finnicky watching the other channels just now. It kept going "can't find station, check later" or "can't find capture device" for 9 and 10, but cleared up after a little bit... I haven't cleared the listing of channels it's already found, btw.

Here's a log with scan offsets unchecked.

It looks like the device is failing to lock any signal at that frequency, so no data is ever delivered to NPVR.

Crap. I guess that makes sense, since BlazeDTV couldn't get that channel either.

I've got a spare antenna somewhere, I can try with that. Frustrating, since the aerial I'm plugged into is shared by other TVs in the house which *can* get SBS.

Any troubleshooting ideas, other than trying another antenna?

That TV might have a better tuner in it than your capture device.

it does seem pretty typical that PC tuners aren't quite as sensitive as what they put in most TV's.
