HDHR channel scanning

pcostanza · 2009-10-17, 08:16 PM

Anyone having problems with scanning channels in HDHR with the last 2 updates (1013 & 1016)? I get lock ups about half way thru the scan on 2 different systems. Using the same scan frequencies with my 2250 and 650 poses no problems but as the scan gets halfway and sometimes farther, it locks up. I've even installed things from scratch with no luck. So far, with the help of the Wiz BDA Migration tool I've been able to use the 2250 scans on my HDHR but I'm wondering what's so different about the latest updates from Silicon that may be causing the problem. As of yet, I've not posted on their forum.

I noticed the same issue but I haven't had time to dive into it yet.

Don't spend your free time for me. I gave up wondering why since the migration tool worked and didn't even post at Silicon but I am glad I'm not going crazy.

Just updated again today to 1024 and I'm still having the same problem on 2 different systems. During the scan, it still stops when it gets to 5 of 9. Seems like it's always in the same spot now.

Still having these problems and have reinstalled from scratch and it's only my HDHR having scan lock ups.
Any ideas?

Does it make a difference if you change the application to ATSC/QAM in the HDHR setup? I've been meaning to test this but haven't had a chance yet.

No, in fact, it locks up even sooner when switching to ATSC/QAM.

K. I'll try to play with it tonight and let you know if I find anything.

Thanks. For now, I'm getting by with the BDA Migration Tool but I was looking for an older version to try and Silicon doesn't keep those around (neither do I).

The HDHomeRun downloads always end with "hdhomerun_software_[release date].zip". Copy the link to the latest download and change the release date to download older versions. A list of versions and release dates can be found by looking at the changelog: http://www.silicondust.com/downloads/hdh..._changelog
