My cable provider just remapped my QAM channels again. While I was rescanning, I started thinking that there must be a better way to keep up with this. The way I do it now is first go to the silicone dust forum and find out where they think the current channels are. Then I go to a QAM ready TV and input that channel number. Most of the time, the channels are correct. Once I know the channel numbers, I edit the QAM list in the atsc folder so it will only scan the channels I want. I then rescan in config and then map to the stations to the new channels.
The fact that I can just enter the channel number into a QAM ready TV makes me think that most QAM must use the same basic tuning information like: T:116,0,0~P:1~V:64~A:65~PMT:71~PCR:64~N:>116.1 * (000(AC3))
for channel 116-1. If so, then it would be great to create a master list that we could use as a scan-x file. Then all that you would have to do was go to silicone dust, find your channel numbers, then map them to the correct location without having to rescan. Does that make sense? Would it work?
