Help scanning/adding channels manually

[jzfredricks]

Hi,
I was someone could please help me configure NextPVR? This is my first time using it (I'm trying to break away from WMC).

I live in Brisbane, Australia. I have a Windows 8.1 HTPC, with a VideoMate E900F dual tv tuner card (it's listed as a "7164 BDA DVBT Tuner") in NextPVR's Devices screen.

Scans only pick up 14 of the, roughly, 30 digital channels. Set top boxes using the same antenna pick up all channels.
I think WMC picks up a few more channels than NextPVR. WMC doesn't pick up ALL channels.

The channels I do get seem to be working fine ie codecs are ok etc.

The two main channel groups I don't get are SBS and Nine. Research indicates this is a common problem for this TV card. Some people have had luck manually adding channels.


So... my questions;

1. Where do I find the nextpvr.log file? I'd like to attach it
2. Given this information;

SBS ONE(SBS):184500000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_7_MHZ

What would the import channel XML look like? Is that the best way to go about adding a channel manually?

thanks

First thing your should try doing is an "Australia/All Regions" scan, rather than choosing "Australia/Brisbane" (or whatever specific transmitter you picked). These are probably out of date and don't match the broadcast frequencies in use in your area.

It found SBS. Which is 1000x better than Nine, so I'm more than happy! Thanks.
