New Zealand TV Channels

[csy]

For those who live in New Zealand, and wish to use "Antenna" input on your TV card, you will notice that the Tuning Assistant will only scan the VHF channels (PAL B) and miss the UHF channels (PAL G). This is because Microsoft Directshow only knows the NZ PAL B channels, as per:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/defaul...ealand.asp

If you wish to use "Antenna" input and scan all valid channels, then you can override the default directshow listing by applying the following "Tuning Space Zero - Antenna" registry key. After applying the key, re-scan using the Tuning Assistant and note down the channel numbers of the stations and enter them into the gbpvr recording source, and reboot for the setting to take effect. If you already know the "real" channel numbers of the TV stations you can enter those directly into gbpvr, but note that the Tuning Assistant still needs to be run to detect the active channels.

Note this should not be applied if you are using "cable" input or using an external tuner.

The channels listed below are a complete listing of all NZ Broadcast TV channels. The dword's are the frequencies in hertz and converted to hex.

Use of this registry key is at your own risk, and should only be attempted by experienced registery tweakers.

Edit:
Channels 12-20 are undefined in NZ, however I have added them into this registry key to "zero" any previous values in the registry.

Thanks, that's a tidier solution than using the "cable" input. My system is working just fine set to "cable", so I don't think I'll much around with it, but it's good to keep this in the list of things to do if I every need to reinstall.
