Hello everyone,

I've been trying to understand why I just can't scan any channel but I can't figure out why. Here is my setup

Supplier: Vidéotron in canada
Card: Hauppauge hvr-1800
OS: Windows 8

I have a coax cable connected from my card to the cable directly. Since I only want the normal channels, 3 to 36 I don't think I need a box. Ok so in NextPVR setting screen in Devices I see QAM Hauppauge Win TV 885. If I select it and scan for channel it goes to 100 and stoped without even detecting one channel.

What am I doing wrong??

BTW IN Skype if I go setup my webcam and select my PVR Card I can see and hear my tv channels.

Thank you for the help

With Hauppauge analog cards your best bet is to install WinTV 7 first.

It should come with your device.

I'm pretty sure you want to scan analog channels. QAM is for digital channels. For the analog channels, you should install WinTV first as Martin said because there a pieces of it needed for analog in NextPVR.

Yep like you said it's looks like using WinTV 7 is now detecting my channels.

Thank you for the help

Installing WinTV adds some Hauppauge support files that gets analog working in NextPVR too. XBMC should work as long as you don't uninstall WinTV
