<br><br>Are the results consistent, i.e. does "scan" always miss the same<br>channels? It sounds like you're probably not picking up one of the six<br>muxes for some reason. I haven't used scan in a while, is their an

<br>figure out whether it is actually a signal problem (sounds likely<br>despite your STB working fine).<br><br>Steve</blockquote><div><br>Generally when I scan it either:<br><br>1) Finds the mux 489833330, the channels found therin and then stops. (common)
<br>2) Finds lots of channels (all of them I think)<br><br>I had imported a channels.conf into myth and hacked the database until the EIT EPG worked (ish).

<br><br>Right, tonight I shall find a UK channel list, perform several 'scan' scansand see what I see. I shall post my results next, um, Monday or Tueday.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>J1M.<br> </div><br></div><br>
