</div>Thanks for your help debugging this issue.<br>
<br>
For anyone else interested without reading through all of the back and<br>
forth discussion on my blog comments, the gist of it was...I was<br>
making an incorrect assumption that the channel number will be the<br>
same as program number. That assumption is almost 100% correct for my<br>
cable provider (the only channel that didn't follow that convention<br>
was one I'd never watch...jewelry shopping channel...and thus didn't<br>
notice), but fails miserably for some cable providers.<br>
<br>
To fix this involves 2 changes. First, I provided Patrick with a perl<br>
script to configure the database correctly (this replaces the SQL<br>
command I previously provided to configure the db). Second, it<br>
involved a few small code changes in my mythtv patch to deal with the<br>
fact that vchannel and program can be 2 different values. I'll try to<br>
make the changes to the patch tonight, and get the updated patch and<br>
perl script online, as well as updating the instructions.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br>Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what units does the Ceton web page expect for frequency? Is it possibly expecting kHz? I am looking at my production backend's dtv_multiplex table for all my QAM frequencies. I believe they are in Hz. An example entry is 663000000Hz (or 663MHz). Are my assumptions correct? I had to enter 663000 in the Ceton web page to get both Carrier lock and Digital lock. I just realized this remotely from work so I can't test the video, but I know something came up using PuTTY and TightVNC.<br>
