[mythtv-users] Channel scanner won't find a specific channel

[David Parker]

Hello!

It's me again.  I've encountered another odd issue with MythTV and this
Hauppauge 2255 tuner, hoping someone can help me out.  This card is using
the saa7164 driver on Debian Linux 8 (64-bit).  I opened a Trac ticket for
this issue (#12635) but I'm also posting here in the hopes that maybe
someone knows the solution.

When I scan for HD channels, I run into a couple of issues:

1. The only way I can get the scanner to find my HD channels is to scan all
transports. Any other option fails to find them.

2. The scanner consistently misses one channel with I receive clearly on my
TV and watch often, but it picks up all of the others.  Other scanning
tools, such as dvbv5-scan, find the channel correctly, and I have a
channels.conf file which contains the channel definition.  The channel is
33_1 (33-1 on my TV, 33.1 in channels.conf), the HD channel of our local
Fox affiliate.  It's a terrible thing not to be able to record Fox during
the X-Files comeback.  :-)

I'm stumped.  Nothing I do seems to get MythTV so see this channel.  I have
it in my Schedules Direct lineup, but it's not in the Program Guide and
MythTV acts as if this channel doesn't exist.  Any thoughts?

I live in the north eastern US and have Time Warner Cable. These channels
are QAM/256.

As always, any help is greatly appreciated!
