Thanks for getting back. I dont know if you want me to respond here on
the list with what I have or email you directly.

Here is a rundown of the issues that I am having.

1. Channel scanning on qam64 qam256 seems to work but it drops audio
channels over the video channels. ( channel mapping) I can get the
qam256 channels ok (as these are mostly the locals) (qam64 is another
story)

2. Since I am having issues with the qams would it be better to try to
create a channels.conf file? (not sure how I would do this) Lots of
people creating them but I haven't found much on how to do it or what
the format would look like.

3. I have tried to use w_scan but the response that I got back from
the original dev that wrote it he states that qam64 isnt supported
yet.

4. It seems that everytime I do a scan the program seems to report
that there are conflicting channels and I have to add them manually or
use the suggested channel number, (which I think is a complete pile of
poo-poo)

Current version of Mythbuntu is 9.10 running mythtv .23 latest version
of weekly build of trunk
Using Schedules Direct

As a side note the channel scanning didn't work very well in .22
either for me thats why I upgraded to .23

Other item is that I am not using Comcast or Charter. I am using TVC,
Small outfit right here in Lennon.

Is there a blindscan tool that I could use that might help with this
that anyone knows of?


Let me know if these questions are a little to much for the list and
we can email directly.


Thanks!

Hi There.
I was just wondering if anyone on this mailing list is using mythtv or
Mythbuntu?
I just wanted to see if there was someone that I could touch base with
while I try to get my system up and going. I know I can hit the
mythbuntu mailing list ( have tried that once to many times i think
because I am no longer getting responses.) (or maybe I just asked the
"wrong" questions.
Thanks!

I thought I read somewhere that soon comcast will stop broadcasting most of
their channels in clear qam. Only the basic limited package will be
broadcast. Anyone else know more info about this?

Yes, Comcast changed their channels 29 - 72~ to digital and you have to
use their box to get those channels. Channels 2 - 18~ is still analogue
TV / tuner card should be able to get those channels.

As for scanning for the channels can't you go to the Schedule Direct
website and customize your channels there. Maybe this is where the
channel conflict is coming from. You are scanning for them and Schedule
direct is giving the same channels.
