I did some investigation and it appears the cable company is sending 0 for both the atsc minor and major channel numbers in the VCT tables. mythtv freaks out with these because it appears there are multiple program numbers that map to the same channel. I wouldn't necessarily blame mythtv for this, because it looks like a deviation from the standard on the cable companies part. <br>
<br>I modified my source tree to ignore the VCT, and now the channel scanner finds every channel using the the PAT (or was the PMT?), I just have to do the manual processing of deciding which program number is which channel. I assume there is some other multiplex with some other complete table (whether it is a VCT or not) that has a list of all the channel numbers and program numbers. I just haven't spent the time evaluating all the multiplexes that my cable company provides.<br>
<br>Daniel is working on a new channel scanner, I am not sure if it will have the ability to ignore broken ATSC tables or not, but I remain hopeful. :)<br></div>
