Hi All,<br>
<br>
I setup a slave backend this weekend (Fedora 6, atrpms, 2.6.20-1.2933
) and added an avermedia A180 to it. I followed the HOWTO in the wiki
for that card. Everything installed fine. When I got to the mythtv
setup portion, I went in to scan channels, the signal says 99% and
signal/noise says 91% for all channels, but it times out on every
channel it goes through. I tried bcast, cable, cable-hrc etc etc all
using QAM-256. I gave up on that and started following the QAM256
channel howto on the wiki.<br>
Got through that. the scan resulted in a file with 297 "channels".
Unfortunately Comcast out of Greeley Colorado doesn't send the channel
name, so it was just a bunch of [000d] type "names". I went through
the procedure of capture video, then grabbing jpegs from mplayer.
Found the networks and created a channels.conf file. Went back in to
scan files and imported the channels.conf. It added the 5 I had in my
.conf file. Here is where I get confused, and the howto kinda lost me
at this point.<br>
<br>
After the import of the channels.conf file, the channels were 501-506 (on my stb they are 652-657) maybe that doesn't matter?<br>
<br>
I setup a zap2it lineup called HD. I used the local broadcast and
selected just those 5 HD/DT channels. added the video source on the
master, then went back to the slave and associated HD with the card.
Ran mythfilldatabase from the master.<br>
<br>
So channels 501-506 show up in the guide. (no program data however)
If I try to view them, it comes up with the "All available inputs are
being used... yada yada" message.<br>
Also, and i'm not entirely sure how this works, but in my master
backend I have a PVR-500 1st input is straight from coax, 2nd input is
coming out of a STB. If I hit Y on one of the front ends, It cycles
through the "Basic" input and the "Digital" input, but doesn't go to
the "Hd" input.<br>
<br>
I was really confused by it and thus focused on the fact that the
channels were numbered "incorrectly". Is that even an issue? Not
really sure where to go from here.<br>
<br>
Lastly, Thanks to Isaac and all the other devs for creating an incredible program.<br>
