Hi Folks

As of this morning, I am using the `docker image: nextpvr/nextpvr_amd64Confusedtable` - prior to this I have had NextPVR working well for years with Windows 10.

(This is Docker in an LXC on Proxmox, hardware is a Hauppage WinTV 2200 PCI card).

It's mostly working well, I can stream TV etc...but I just cannot get it to tune ABC here in Melbourne (I'm located reasonably centrally).  Previously I've had no issues tuning ABC under Windows (although I do recall, very long ago, I perhaps had to modify some config somewhere but not sure if that was ABC related or something else...)

It appears you're now using: https://git.linuxtv.org/dtv-scan-tables....-Melbourne - is that right?  And the files I found in the docker tuning folder are not used?

In any case, I have tried all the available options vaguely related to Melbourne (and my state, Victoria) options in the list - none result in ABC becoming available.  The main Melbourne available options are all for towers quite some distance from central Melbourne, and there is a more local option:

https://ozdigitaltv.com/transmitters/VIC/720-Melbourne, which lists:

ABC
ABC43
634.500 Mhz

vs what seems to be in the current Melbourne related entries:

ABC
ABC12
226.500 Mhz

(I am fairly confident I was using 226.500 in the past though, as it happens).  Perhaps something is going on with signal strength - it is possible to extend the searching time and/or lower the threshold to see what happens?  I've ne ver had any actual playback issues once things were tuned.

Is there some way to explicitly try particular frequencies, rather than use these lists (that are seemingly rather incomplete)?   Basically - what can I do to get this solved?

(I see recommendations for tscapture etc for daignosis - is there a Linux equivalent?)

The Linux dtv-scan-tables frequencies are notoriously bad and out of date.

Personally, I just manually edited the file to set the correct frequencies. On most machines they can be found in /usr/share/dvb/
