Help on digital channel mapping

[whurlston]

Yup. That's exactly it. There are also IRC frequencies but they are so close to the standard ones that it doesn't matter.

you may find the silicon dust channel database helpful: http://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/channels_us

just put in your zip, select your cable co from the drop down, and it will tell you the physical channels and corresponding programs.

Man, I spent ~3 hours to figure them out Now it is all listed on this website. They are slightly different from mine. But it would be really helpful if I have this before hand.

I still have no luck for FusuinHDTV 5 Rt Lite using the "Fusion HDTV5 Lite (QAM)" device. No channel found for all five possible settings in Qam.ini manager Anybody can help? Thanks a lot.

Zip and post your config.exe.log and config.exe-native.log after running a scan using the center frequencies setting.

Thanks. Here are the two logs. Seems the errors are all like:

Edit: Forgot to mention, I did not delete my first source. Do I have to do so? Just now trying to watch TV in GBPVR, got an error message about poor signal. It worked fine after I deleted the second source (Fusion one).

[whurlston]

You don't have to delete the other source. Unfortunately, everything looks fine in the scan log but the device just never manages to lock onto a signal. I'm not sure what else to suggest but I'll see if I can get a hold of a Fusion card to test.

Thanks. I am using Mygica U6012 just fine. Just in case somebody will use this in the future, here is the two steps need to be done:
1. Add this into bda.ini:

Code:

[Mygica U6012 HDTV Stick]
TUNING_TYPE=ATSC
TUNING_SPECIAL=2
FILTER_TUNER=HDTV Stick Digital Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=HDTV Stick Digital Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

2. Use center frequencies in Qam.ini Manager before configure capture source

[johnsonx42]

Actually, to be consistent with other cards, the correct BDA.ini entries should be:

Code:

[Mygica U6012 HDTV Stick]
TUNING_TYPE=ATSC
FILTER_TUNER=HDTV Stick Digital Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=HDTV Stick Digital Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

[Mygica U6012 HDTV Stick (QAM)]
TUNING_TYPE=ATSC
TUNING_SPECIAL=2
FILTER_TUNER=HDTV Stick Digital Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=HDTV Stick Digital Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

GB-PVR uses the sources from the bottom up for live tv (top down for recording). So if you had the fusion card enabled as the second source, and had some channels enabled (mapped or not), then GB-PVR would attempt to use it for Live tv... but the fusion card can't tune anything yet, hence the poor signal error.

Just thought you'd like an explanation for that little mystery....

Sub will probably add it to the master bda.ini for the next release and johnsonx42's format is the one he will most likely use.

myasus, just change your existing entry to match this and then you can just change the device to the "Mygica U6012 HDTV Stick (QAM)" in your capture source properties. There's no need to set it up and scan all over again.

Yep - done that, using johnsonx42's naming.
