So you are saying that importing previous scans doesn't seem<br>
to work for<br>
you either? I would really like to play around with (or<br>
have find<br>
an explanation of) the different types of channels and<br>
"transports." I<br>
just can't possibly spend 2+ hours scanning for each<br>
iteration I want<br>
to explore.<br>
<br>
<br>
Yes. I haven't been able to use it. I don't know how much code is<br>
shared for DVB-T and FiOS and I really don't know how HDHR or FiOS<br>
work, but in my last test I had to do a full scan, with no<br>
transports defined, then delete unwanted transports and all<br>
channels, and then do a linked scan of all known transports. I<br>
don't know if you could do something similar. Prior knowledge of<br>
the transport structure is a great help, and the terminal output of<br>
mythtvsetup during and after a scan is informative.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
How do you know what an "unwanted" transport is? I guess you probably<br>
have more familiarity with the signiling side than I do currently. My<br>
knowledge stops at... I expect QAM on my unencrypted channels... and I<br>
assume Transports to be different frequency ranges for the different<br>
channels?<br>
<br>
Also you mention a linked scan? I have only done a full scan, and<br>
attempted to import a scan. Is a linked scan another option that<br>
perhaps I can try? What does it do differently?<br>

A website lists the frequencies allocated to the transmitter that I want - to which my antenna points. I delete transports with frequencies not in that list. One of the identifiers in the scan output may be specific to the transmitter too, but I haven't checked on that. Maybe you should just delete any transport that doesn't have a QAM label.<br>
<br>
The 'linked scan' option is offered when you select 'scan all known transports'; it's not called exactly that, but it's the option after 'ignore timeouts', which I also select. I don't know if your transports will use the linking concept.<br>
<br>
So perhaps:<br>
<br>
1. Delete all channels<br>
2. Delete all transports<br>
3. Full scan<br>
4. Delete all non-QAM transports<br>
5. Delete all channels<br>
6. Channel scan, using 'scan all known transports', 'ignore timeout' and 'link transports' options.<br>
7. Examine results. If transport list has changed repeat from step 4.<br>
8. Download Icons.<br>
<br>
