HVR-1600 QAM Problems

[bigbus01]

I'm having a problem with my HVR-1600 QAM card. The analog works fine but I'm having trouble getting the HD side to do a scan. I recorded a program the other night so I know the card is working (House on HD). I was also having trouble getting WinTV to scan (it would stop scanning pretty quick).

I have Verizon FIOS and have been recording for the last 6 months. Yesterday Verizon did a massive change to their lineup and I have to rescan the HD channels. Every time I start to scan in GBPVR, the card gets to the second channel and I get a Windows error. If I plug in an OTA cable, I can get the card to scan (although there are no channels found). I moved the card to another slot and now I can get WinTV to scan and I can watch Live TV with WinTV. GBPVR will still not scan (it still gets through the first channel slowly but hangs on the second with a Windows error). I even tried a fresh install of GBPVR but it didn't help.

I'm wondering if there is some signal that Verizon is sending on the first couple of channels that is messing up the scan. Is there any way to get the card to start scanning at about channel 50 or so to bypass the first couple of channels? Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Make sure you have the scanning patch from the survival guide thread, then reproduce the error and zip and attach the config logs.

Sub,

Thanks for the quick reply. I had tried it yesterday and it didn't work. After moving the card and reinstalling GBPVR, I just tried the patch again and it still doesn't work.

Here are my logs.

I cant see any sign of the cause in your logs. Are you positive you applied that patch? This is very similiar to what you'd get without that patch.

[bigbus01]

To apply the patch, all I have to do is over-write the file in GBPVR, correct?

That is all I did.

Sorry, I'm not really sure what to suggest then.

If this patch is for GBPVRTSMon.ax I think you might need to

regsvr32 /u GBPVRTSMon.ax
unzip GBPVRTSMon.zip
regsvr32 GBPVRTSMon.ax

mvallevand,

I'll give it a try. I just installed the previous version of GBPVR and it scans fine.

I registered the file successfully back in 1.2.13 and it doesn't scan (same problem). I guess I have to go back to 1.2.9 because it works fine. I don't know what else to try.

My plan is to reinstall the previous version (1.2.9), complete a scan, and then reinstall 1.2.13. That is basically how I did it before, I upgraded from 1.2.9.
