Channels found in scan won't assign to device

[possum]

Hi all. I'm a old time GBPVR user and decided to dust off some hardware recently and try to get things rolling again. All of the new menus and all are unfamiliar and i'm having a hard time getting this to go. The problem I have is that when i go to the "Device Setup" and select my device everything seems well. I run the scan and plenty of channels show up. Everything looks dandy and all the boxes are checked by default so I hit ok and no changes seem to be applied. No channels show up anywhere and my ASTC tuner or whatever it is still shows no channels. Am I missing something??(I've searched forum posts and the quickstart to no avail) I have a HVR-1600 and i'm receiving OTA signal near Chicago if it matters.

Thank you!

Tom

It looks like you database is missing columns etc.

You could either try running "nextpvr.exe -updatedb" or delete the npvr.db3 and try again.

Fixed! I renamed npvr.db3 and tried again with success. I'm assuming that the database was incorrect because I updated to the most recent version before attempting this. I think my old version was 1.4 or something and i must have ended up with an outdated database. Restarted the recording service and i'm in business! Thanks

Usually it'll upgrade, but I've not tried a super old database.

sub, perhaps you might dump the detailed install log to the npvr logs directory so that when someone has one of these odd database-didn't-upgrade situations we can see what might have gone wrong. in this case it may have been because the original database was so old, but we seem to get a few of these every release where someone moving just one or two versions doesn't get the database update.
