I have recently updated my system to R5F1, this was a complete auto install, not an upgrade.

I have a problem with my system not seeing all the channels on my Hauppauge PVR-500, I can only see channels 2-13, whereas I should be able receive 14-78. I have used this PVR-500 for many months on my old R5E50 system (which I had to update the ivtv drivers before it would even recognize the card). I have connected the cable direct to my TV and all channels are definitely coming down the cable, it is not a problem at my provider end.

I cannot at this point rule out a faulty PVR-500 card, but I find it very suspicious that this fault only happened at the point I switched to R5F1.

<EDIT> I just put my old R5E50 hard drive back in my system, I can receive all channels on my PVR-500. This appears to only be a problem when I am running R5F1. Maybe I should try updating the ivtv drivers, perhaps to the one I updated to when I was using R5E50.

Has anyone else seen this problem?

BTW I have read the R5F1 Hints and Hazards and it appears there are some issues with the changes related to the updated ivtv drivers, but I cannot see anything which is related to this particular problem. There is mention in the Hints and Hazards of a scripts which you can run, is this something which would help me with this particular problem?




I have tried deleting the capture cards and adding them back in. I have deleted the HD channel lineup on labs.zap2it in case it was interfering somehow (I have seen problems with R5F1 and having two lineups set at zap2it).

Note, I made sure that I only did the 'get listings from source' and did not do a channel scan in setup.

Thanks,

Kevin

Sounds like you picked the wrong frequency set in mythtv-setup.

Depending on your provider you want us-cable, or us-cable-hrc, or us-cable-irc, NOT us-bcast.

Hi tjc,

setting the frequency table to 'us-cable' fixed it, so I guess the 'default' has changed from R5E50. (don't know why I didn't think of that ),

thanks for your help,

Kevin
