Unable to scan

[OTAjunkie]

Canadian stations have now begun the transition to digital.
Yesterday I was able to scan and add one new channel.
Today there is another newbie, when I run a scan on any of the three tuners (ATI650,Haup2250) I get a result of one and only one different channel and am unable to see the new channel.
I use TSreader and it sees the new staion.
I also have a dual boot with GBpvr on that OS and it sees the new channel
Npvr 2.1.5 AND patched
Ran DVBfix too

please help!!

Can you do a scan in GBPVR and post the config.exe.log, and a scan in NPVR and post the npvr.log, and let me know the name of the channel so I know which on to compare in the logs.

Here is the requested info:
Please see log notes
and please excuse if this is a duplicate post

What is the name of the channel not being found?

Nevermind - I found it in the text file.

Its not entirely clear in your text file. So you are finding this channel on one of your NPVR installs, but not the other?

I had a hell of a time scanning Global CIII-DT last night, and it is not close to watchable. I eventually was able to position my antenna and miraculously got the attached without pixelization, but forget scheduling it.

I made my life easier using this ini file while scanning/rescanning.

Code:

[CABTYPE]
1=Global
2=All Frequencies

[DVB]
0=1
1=6,0,0

You can poke it into the database with this tuning string

Code:

<tuning>
  <type>ATSC</type>
  <locator>
    <physical_channel>6</physical_channel>
  </locator>
  <service_id>1</service_id>
  <tsid>1</tsid>
  <service_type>1</service_type>
</tuning>

Npvr installed on the XP media center edition OS rips thru a scan in 60secs. It finds only one channel, CKXDT but I want TVO.

Npvr on the XP only OS scans it at a nice slow rate (TVO) on two out of the three tuners.

Yesterday @ noon I had Global at 80% and locked with pic and sound. I adjusted my antenna and lost the signal.
Using TSReader my signal dropped below any useable threshold and today's TSReader looks as if I'm looking at WCFE which I can get some mornings on tropo.
At 9:30 yesterday the signal was weak as well but i had picture at noon everything looked ok. Apart from my issues with global's signal and not being able to scan everything else is fine.

I've got an ATI 650 too and I can consistently scan everything except Global. TVO is looking perfect right now.
