| Post subject: | QAM - 309 services, no channel names |
I'm setting up QAM on a fusionHD5, in TimeWarner's west valley area in socal. Got DVB scan tools installed. DVB scan completes successfully, but reports 309 available services (channels). It's not getting the channel names. Is there an easier way to identify them than the -grab some frames and look- method detailed in the mythtv.org wiki? Doing it once would be painfully tedious, but TWC has changed their QAM channel assignments 3 times in the last year so I may have to do it again periodically. Or should I move the card back to a windows host and wait for .20? |

To answer my own question: In a nutshell, ignore to instruction in the mythtv.org wiki. Stopped the backend ran mythtv-setup Imported channels from data direct used the channel editor to note the xmltvid numbers for my qam channels deleted the channels used the scanner in mythtv-setup scanner found all of my channels, including channel names used the channel editor to set the channel numbers and xmltvid values start the backend mythfilldatabase and now it works. I still have a lot of cleanup to do from the nonfunctional channels it found in the scan. |
