FRITZ!Box 6490 Cable - can't find any channels

[ilkka]

Hello

NextPVR finds my FRITZ!Box 6490 Cable box just fine and shows all four tuners, but scanning doesn't get me any channels. I have attached logs and also the .ini file I use for the local cable provider. I have created the ini file based on this I believe https://www.kaisanet.fi/app/uploads/2021...ahtien.pdf In the past it found channels just fine, but now nothing I do helps. I have uninstalled the software many times, no luck.

Version: 7.0.5.260307
Ini file is in C:\Program Files\NextPVR\data\tuning\DVB-C

DVB-C part of FRITZ!Box 6490's control panel shows the scan and it shows the channel names when the scan hits the frequency but still nextprv doesn't find it.

Yep, seems to work. It found all channels now. Thank you so much. Oh, and feel free to include that .ini file in the next update if you want. That would help me. I wouldn't have to copy it in case I need to completely reinstall the software.

Okay, channels were found but EPG doesn't seem to want to update now.

Check the Settings->Channel setting screen since

2026-04-17 06.24.52.753 [DEBUG][39] Tuning plan:
2026-04-17 06.24.52.755 [DEBUG][39] 0 channels configured to use DVB-EPG

and under the advanced tools button automap them to DVB/ATSC

Thank you! This did the trick and I got EPG tuned.
