Can't find channels with HDHR

[hyde]

Hi everyone,
I installed NextPVR, switched HDHR from WMC to NextPVR (and also tried Tuner QAM), Enabled all three exe's on Firewall, yet it still cannot find any channels.
I am using basic cable over Time Warner without CableCard or Box (C-QAM) and I get all channels listed on HDHR fine, they all work on HDHR QuickTV and on WMC.

Here is my logs folder.

Looking at your logs, you seem to have some kind of odd input device (ie. wireless mouse or remote) generating messages which makes it hard to debug, but you should be selecting the ATSC or QAM device and not the bogus device that NextPVR generates for the non-prime devices.

I see you have the ATI card too. It might be possible to use that with NextPVR/XBMC for copy freely channels with NetworkRecorder and SageMCTuner

Hi hyde, I'm afraid that Time Warner reportedly flags every channel as copy-once, meaning WMC is probably your best option. Member smajor is on Time Warner and has posted about this several times. Here's the thread where he first learned about it: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post435237

If you really hate WMC or really love XBMC, you might want to consider something like an HD-PVR that captures component output from an STB. Martin could tell you all about that.

If it works with QuickTV it should work with NextPVR

I'm fairly sure to use the 'HDHR' device type you need to have a cable card installed. You can probably get 'QAM' device type to work, but you'll need to ensure you have firewall exceptions for nextpvr.exe, nrecord.exe and ndigitalhost.exe

HDHR doesn't use a cable card. It's the HDPrime that does.

I was basing my reply on the xbmc forum post that is better http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=169347 since it says HDHR (Original)

Thanks for the replies, sorry I didn't realize topic was split and subscription did not apply.

I do have a bunch of odd input devices, but for this particular case I am using Mediagate WMC Remote with IR receiver, but the commands are being sent by Sony remote that learned the commands from the Mediagate WMC/MCE remote. It is pretty much same as any other MCE remotes.

I still have my ATI Cable Card Tuner but I don't use that anymore, in fact I am surprised you guys see it since I haven't used it in over a year.

I can confirm that HDHomeRun Dual (Original) records in free format, does not flag them as protected, I can watch those recordings in other computers, it works just like OTA Antenna. I don't really hate WMC (I love it actually) but since I am moving away from the broadcast and going mainly online with only 2-3 shows that I have in my DVR scheduled, I wanted to go XBMC-only using NPVR and have everything in one place.

I noticed something very odd this morning, when I tried to run WMC, the Green Button did not work on my remote (I thought my Sony was running out of batteries, so I pulled out the original WMC remote and hit the green button, it did not work) could NPVR have done something to my remote configuration? After a restart I noticed now green button is running WMP and when I run WMC manually some of the WMC specific buttons are not responding (skip, guide, etc) Is it possible NPVR overwrote some settings?

Could you scan using the atsc option and repost the npvr log fies?

You mean use antenna, right? Will I have to get HDHR scan for channels before I scan in NPVR? Will that overwrite my WMC setup? Because even though HDHR could see the CQAM TWC channels they never showed up in my WMC, I had to manually add those channels in WMC by looking at their CQAM channel numbers from HDHR.
Is it possible that NPVR is having the same problem as WMC?

I have to get my antenna from basement tomorrow and scan.

PS: About the remote, it was eHome driver, somehow got messed up, I removed and reinstalled, it works fine..
