missing a channel, cant HDHR-3 picks it up but not NPVR

[jhr1948]

Hi, first let me say i love this program, especially with XBMC!

I cant seem to pickup ATSC channel 34.4 I can see pick it up with the HDHomerun Quick TV, but NPVR wont get it when scanning.

I've tried searching high and low and have not seen anyone post a specific solution. For the record, I do have all the firewall permisions set. I can use NPVR fine, even with the pvr plugin in xbmc. I just don't know whats causing NPVR to skip a channel i'd like when i'm scanning for channels.

Thanks

Rescan and compress and upload NPVR.log

According to the logs, it found the channel:

I do notice that your signal quality is low on that frequency though. Not sure if that has something to do with it.

It seems to scan

2013-08-16 23:53:23.796 [DEBUG][1] - found 'RTV'

Are you sure you added it?

i saw that also, but there is no channel. should i take a screenshot of the channels? I think i saw something interesting. Channels 10.1-10.7 are KUVM-LD while channels 34.1-34.5 are KUVM-CD, could having the same name conflict?

I could swear someone else encountered a similar problem a couple months back; I think this may be already fixed for the next release (but I'm really not sure, just going off what I recall). For now, I suggest you edit the tuning .ini file you're using (in npvr\tuning\atsc) and get rid of physical channel 10; you can just have it scan 9 twice instead of renumbering the entire file. See if just not scanning 10 helps you pick up all of 34 correctly.

[mvallevand]

I thought that might be the problem but RTV wasn't a duplicate key. The duplicate problem was discussed here and is fixed in the next http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...meRun-Dual Maybe the fact that KUVM-LD is duplicated in one mux messes things up. If it is related to duplicates on the scan johnsonx42's suggestion to make an ini without channel 10 sounds okay, but there are other duplicates in their too.

@johnsonx42 tried taking out 9=10,0,0 & 10=11,0,0 just in case and still not picking up 34.4

@Martin also, while looking at the logs, i noticed KUVM-LD say physical channel 22. So just in case i took out 22 from the ini file, but still no 34.4 (RTV)

This is so odd, HD Quicktv shows all channels.

[mvallevand]

Create this as 34.ini and put it in Tuning\ATSC

Code:

[CABTYPE]
1=Channel 34
2=All Frequencies

[DVB]
0=1
1=34,0,0
