Hi Joe,<br>
<br>
The tuner I want to use for the QAM stations is a Hauppauge HVR-950Q; there's also a Hauppauge HD-PVR which I use for the high def cable channels. I know the 950Q works in my Myth system; it's just Time Warner screws it up.<br>
<br>
Do you suppose your HDHR script might work; at a minimum I suspect it would serve as a great starting point for a script for the 950Q. Are you willing to share/post it?<div class=""><div class="h5"><br></div></div></blockquote>

If your cable box has a serial, usb, or firewire port, you may be able to get the information that way?</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>I know that before I had this script, it would only take me an hour or so to tune each available QAM channel and determine what channel it corresponded to in my digital cable line up. I would just tune a QAM channel, look for obvious indications of what channel (logo, show), if that didn't work I would simply scan the likely channels on my cable box or HDHR prime until I found a match. Once I found a match, I would duplicate the channel number, name, XMLTVID, and callsign on the QAM channel using mythweb. Wasn't a fun hour, but it wasn't difficult.</div>
