Hi,
I recently got myself a HDhomerun from newegg (it was on sale)
and am trying to get it setup. I am attempting to follow the
wiki here: http://mythtv.org/wiki/Scte65scan, but am running
into some areas that I am not clear on.
1st off, I have compiled the program with the hdhomerun libraries,
and the program runs as advertise.
So, my 1st question... As noted in the wiki:
"apparently Comcast will send the same signal to multiple towns
and configure the cable boxes to use a different table depending
on where it is installed."
This is definitely the case in my area. However, I couldn't figure
out which VCT_ID was the one being used. I have a full set top box
but the instructions from the wiki only caused my box to reboot. I
do know how to get in the menu system on that box -- but now where
do I see anything that looks like VCT_ID. So I am using the VCT_ID
that had the most channels listed under it.
Ok, on to the more important questions:
The wiki states:
1.Within mythtv-setup create the tuner cards and grabbers but
don't do the "connections" yet
2.run scte65scan as described below
3.fill the database with the results
4.Go back to mythtv-setup and create the connections and set
the starting channel to a valid channel
For step one -- I have my schedule direct grabbers setup (one
digital one analog). Step 2 works as per the wiki. Step 3 wouldn't
work because it would conflict with rows in the table it was trying
to modify. So, I removed all grabbers -- and did steps 2 & 3 first.
Which does get the data into the two tables. I then added the
schedule direct grabbers.
Which leds me to my next questions: how does schedule direct link to
the data entered in to the database via the steps from the wiki?
The previous question is a result of noting the results of using the
digital lineup from schedule direct for the connection part to the
hdhomerun -- which is a lot of unknown schedule information for channels
that do work.
BTW: (I am using SVN) and the new Arclight theme is SWEET!!!! Especially,
the OSD!!!
So all said, I figure I can't read -- and hope someone who has done this
can tell me where I am screwing this up. Thanks
