No LiveTV or Recording on one channel only

[cher]

I use Schedules Direct for my EPG. All of my recordings on NBC, CBS, ABC, and PBS are great. But, I cannot record FOX or watch live Fox TV through the PVR interface. Recordings show a black screen. I updated and rescanned the SiliconDust HD Homerun tuner, then rescanned the channels in the PVR config. I found a 2nd Fox entry with the same channel #31.1, but it's pulling data from DVB/ATSC EPG instead of Schedules Direct. This alternate Fox listing displays (no show details) in every half-hour increment in my EPG, and I can click on the empty EPG slot and watch the program live. The live show playing in the (no show details) time slot is the same as the one listed in the Schedules Direct show in the old Fox listing.  More info - Schedules Direct has Fox at Freq 28 and SID 3 (no recording or live – just a black screen). The DVB/ATSC Fox channel is at Freq 21 and SID 7 (can watch live, but doesn’t populate the EPG, so no recording).  I suspect it has something to do with my Fox station broadcasting in ATSC 3.0 and possibly attaching DRM. Is there an (easy) way to set up my EPG so I can keep Schedules Direct for everything else, but record the alternate Fox listing from DVB/ATSC?

If not, is there another solution for recording Fox?

Log files attached - several Fox test recordings in the logs.

Thx!

I forget how to read then logs from NextPVR v4 which is no longer supported. I remember issues with NextPVR and the same callsign on multiple frequencies and for some reason Rochester has a lot of duplicates of many channels on physical channel 28.

If it was me I would remove both Fox channels and then rescan but use just frequency 27 Here is an ini file you scan save in "C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Tuning\ATSC" and try.

Code:

[CABTYPE]
1=ATSC CH. 27

[DVB]
0=1
1=27,0,0
