<br>Well I spoke too soon. <br><br>I dont understand why this is happening but hopeing we can get it fixed.<br>
<br>I went through all my channels for the cable card stacking my analog/hd stations. So I edited the Channum field out of Mythweb. I left the freqid alone. On all my other souces that field is used to actually tune the channel. But for some reason MythTV is using the channum to tune the HDHR, hence the "Requested channel is not a digital channel. Please select a different channel." in the HDHR logs.<br>
<br>What I am trying to accomplish is stacking channels that I get OTA, Analog, and digital CC. For Example:<br><br>HDHR Dual gets Channel 9.1 via Antenna. <br>HDHR CC gets the same channel on 610.<br>My PVR150 Also gets this on channel 12<br>
<br>I what them to show up in the guide as 1 station. So I edited the Channum to all be channel 12, also matched the callsign and network name. As well as setting priorities.<br><br>Now in the guide I see 1 station for 12. This is how I have always configured myth. When I select a channel it then uses the chanid, mplexid, etc to tune it. So why is the HDHR CC using the Channum?<br>
<br>For a pic look here. My HDHR CC is source 8, In this config Mythtv request channel 12 which is a analog station only<br><a href="http://tinypic.com/r/350jqfr/5" target="_blank">http://tinypic.com/r/350jqfr/5</a><br>

There's a good reason that the official instructions are vehement about using a fresh, unadulterated video source-- it's to avoid these kinds of issues. The video source attached to the Prime *must* be an "analog" lineup to work reliably and properly.</div>
<div><br></div><div>As ever, your database is your own, but I would have to close any tickets you opened on the Prime because you don't want to follow the known-good configuration steps and because you're attempting to manipulate the database directly to get it to do something it's not designed to do-- The code uses key bits of information from those very table to determine how to tune the Prime versus a regular digital tuner, and your approach prevents that logic from working. If it feels like I am intentionally being vague about the specifics of the channel tables in the database, it's because I am. There's a known path to a working configuration (the one in the documentation) and a path known to cause problems due to unsupported configuration/misconfiguration, and that's the one that you are currently attempting. I want to reiterate that I understand why you want to consolidate video sources and avoid doing busy work tidying up a channel lineup-- it's just that your approach to trying to do so can, will, and has caused problems for you and others, and isn't something we can assist you with (and moreover, makes it impossible to accept any bug reports from your database).</div>
