Cant find channels with PCTV HD

ButtonCD · 2011-09-20, 09:41 AM

Need some help with NextPVR, Windows 7 and a PCTV HD Card. Ran FilterCheck, added the card to AnalogDevices.xml. No channels found.

***sub*** · 2011-09-20, 05:02 PM

Do a channel scan, then post the npvr.log and I'll take a look.

You have not installed the MainConcept (HCW) MPEG Multiplexer-Plus. See wiki pages or the sticky thread in this forum about how-to.

***sub*** · 2011-09-21, 05:45 PM

Zip and attach the complete npvr.log and I'll take a look.

That snippet shows you're trying to scan ATSC digital channels over an antenna. Is that correct?

ButtonCD · 2011-09-22, 10:22 AM

Will try this soon. Thanks!

ButtonCD · 2011-09-22, 10:23 AM

Over my Cable TV.

mvallevand · 2011-09-22, 12:28 PM

You can't get ATSC over cable TV it needs an external antennae.

Martin

ButtonCD · 2011-09-22, 10:38 PM

Ok. What is it called when I have cable TV input to PCTV card?

ButtonCD · 2011-09-22, 10:42 PM

ATSC over Cable.
