Black Channels

[craigrs84]

No luck. I tried both settings. Also I didn't see anything about a copy-once flag in the tuner status:

Tuner 0 Status

Virtual Channel none
Frequency 557.000 MHz
Program Number 4

Modulation Lock 8vsb
Signal Strength 100% (44.9 dBmV)
Signal Quality 53% (17.1 dB)
Symbol Quality 100%

Streaming Rate 5.001 Mbps
Resource Lock none

I'd try whurlston's suggestion above. If that doesn't work, we'll probably need to capture a 1 minute full ts, so I can try the stream here in my signal generator.

Any ideas? Let me know if you need anything else from me. Thanks.

I'm not really sure. You might need to capturing a 1 minute full ts, so I can try the stream here in my signal generator.

Is this what you need?

Is that with "Other: ATSC/QAM" in the tuner stored setup as recommended by whurlston?

Guys, I'm dumb. I had tried to set it to Other: ATSC/QAM before all of this but apparently I forgot to click apply and the change didn't save. I just tried again and the channel is working now in NextPVR.

P.S. How does that setting affect play back? I was curious when I first saw that setting.

Great - glad you got it working.

Its controls whether SiliconDust try to do PID filtering. For most people it works fine when PID filtering is enabled, but for whatever reason, it spits the dummy for a few users.

SiliconDust thought there might be PID filtering issues in Windows XP and Vista. Out of curiosity, are you using one of these?
