NEXTPVR with UPC in The Netherlands

[wosp3]

Since april this year UPC customers in the Netherlands can use Digital TV without encryption. I would like to use this on my HTPC and bought a "Digital Devices Cine C/T" (Dual DVB-C/T tuner-card) and installed this card in my HTPC. NextPVR does see the tuner, but when I scan for channels I don't find anything because the right profile is missing. I was wondering why there is no option for manual settings/configuration?!

And, how can I make NextPVR scanning at the right place? I hope there is a soon solution for this and the new UPC profiles will be added soon to NextPVR.

If you network's frequencies are not included in the standard frequencies scanned when you select "All Countries" / "All Frequencies (6.900MBd SR)", then you can always create your own scanning file with your specific frequencies. Just take a look at the other files in C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Tuning\DVB-C for an example of what you need to do.

If you do create a new file that works with your network, then make sure you post the file so I can include it in future releases.

Thanks! I will make the config files for UPC in The Netherlands and post it when working (I know al frequency's), but before I start, can you explain to me how the configfile works? So, for example:

0=26
1=C,137500,6875,QAM64,8

What is the first entry (0=26) for, because this is different in each file.
1=C means channel 1 = (DVB-C)?, then frequency, then symbol rate, then modulation, but what's the last 8 for?

Thanks again!

0=26, means there is 26 frequency entries to follow. If you were only going to scan a single frequency, then you'd have 0=1.

1=C means channel 1 = (DVB-C)?, then frequency, then symbol rate, then modulation, but what's the last 8 for?

The first number just increases. 1 then 2 then 3 etc. The C is no longer important for the app, just leave it as C. Then frequency, symbol rate, modulation and bandwidth. Bandwidth will be 8.

So, in effect just change the "137500,6875,QAM64" part of the entry.

Thanks. I'm out of the country for the next few weeks, so not able to update mu files right now. If someone can remind in when I'm back, then I'll make sure I include these files with the next release.

Hereby a ZIP containing 9 profiles in total, which will cover the whole UPC region/all UPC customers in The Netherlands.
For UPC-NL customers: Please extract the files in this ZIP-archive in C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Tuning\DVB-C to add the UPC profiles to NextPVR.
