<br>> that card. Everything installed fine. When I got to the mythtv setup<br>> portion, I went in to scan channels, the signal says 99% and signal/noise<br>> says 91% for all channels, but it times out on every channel it goes
<br>> through. I tried bcast, cable, cable-hrc etc etc all using QAM-256. I<br>> 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".
<br>> Unfortunately Comcast out of Greeley Colorado doesn't send the channel name,<br>> so it was just a bunch of [000d] type "names". I went through the procedure<br>> of capture video, then grabbing jpegs from mplayer. Found the networks and
<br>> created a channels.conf file. Went back in to scan files and imported the<br>> channels.conf. It added the 5 I had in my .conf file. Here is where I get<br>> 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<br>> 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
<br>> just those 5 HD/DT channels. added the video source on the master, then<br>> went back to the slave and associated HD with the card. Ran<br>> mythfilldatabase from the master.<br>><br>> So channels 501-506 show up in the guide. (no program data however) If I
<br>> try to view them, it comes up with the "All available inputs are being<br>> used... yada yada" message.<br>> Also, and i'm not entirely sure how this works, but in my master backend I<br>> have a PVR-500 1st input is straight from coax, 2nd input is coming out of a
<br>> STB. If I hit Y on one of the front ends, It cycles through the "Basic"<br>> 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
<br>> were numbered "incorrectly". Is that even an issue? Not really sure where<br>> to go from here.<br>><br>> Lastly, Thanks to Isaac and all the other devs for creating an incredible<br>> program.
<br>><br>> Chris<br><br>I'd make sure the master backend sees the slave backend. Go to to<br>Mythweb's Backend Status screen or the System Information in the<br>frontend. It should say something along the lines of "Encoder 4 is
<br>remote on MythFrontend and is not recording."<br><br>--<br>Steve<br>Before you ask, read the FAQ!<br><a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Frequently_Asked_Questions">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Frequently_Asked_Questions

(currently not connected).<br><br>I thought I might have turned off the mythbackend service on the slave, so i turned it on, now it says:<br>
Encoder 5 is remote on mythhd.home.loc and is not recording.<br><br>However as soon as I refresh the mythweb status screen I get:<br>"Mainserver: HandleRemoteEncoder(cmd (GET_STATE) Unknown encoder: 5, exiting"
<br>on the slave backend log.<br><br>Obviously I have something setup wrong?<br><br>Thanks<br>Chris<br><br>
