I'm in Israel - How can I add channel to my device?

[amir77a]

I've added my TV card (PVR-150).

My country is not listed, and also I was trying to scan, but nothing came up.

How can I add my cable company channels?

Thanks!
Amir.

Is the PVR150 connected to a set-top-box or is the cable plugged directly into the 150?

It may not make a difference, since selecting any other PAL-B country should have achieved the same results, but here is a patch that adds Israel.

Many thanks for your help.

Currently I'm unable to retrieve any channel.

The PVR 150 is connected to the set top box, not directly to the cables (it needs the set top box decoder).

The PVR 150 is connected to the set top box via Video Composite cable.

MCE is working flawlessly with those channels, but through nextPVR, I get nothing.

Any advise would be very welcome

thanks,
Amir.

Yep, you cant scan for channels in that type of setup. Instead, with the input set to composite, you need to import your channels from an XMLTV file, or manually create them,.

Where exactly should I configure it as Composite?

Scan for channels retrieved nothing.
Where can I find such an XML file to import from?

Adding it manually, seems like a nightmare. there are too many channels to add.

Thanks,

Did you see Input Source in the Add Channels dialog box?[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]

An XMLTV file created by XMLTVGUI appears to have support for Israel. There may be other sources for XMLTV for Israel. I am not sure how to import XMLTV for a composite connection. I suggest that you create 1 channel, set that channel to use XMLTV, then hit the Update EPG button in Settings --> Channels and see what happens.
