I just got an HDHomeRun Prime. I got a Motorola M-Card from Comcast and<br>
got it authenticated and paired. The SiliconDust GUI can access HD<br>
programs. With Myth, I can access SD programs, but not HD - even for<br>
programs available OTA.<br>
<br>
For example, using the command line<br>
hdhomerun_config 131A48E8 scan 0 /tmp/thescan<br>
I find that physical channel qam256:92 carries four programs:<br>
SCANNING: 633000000 (us-irc:92, us-cable:92)<br>
LOCK: qam256 (ss=100 snq=100 seq=100)<br>
TSID: 0x846C<br>
PROGRAM 1 805 WCVB HD (encrypted)<br>
PROGRAM 2 807 WHDH HD (encrypted)<br>
PROGRAM 3 297 WHDH <a href="http://THIS.TV" target="_blank">THIS.TV</a> (encrypted)<br>
PROGRAM 4 292 WCVB <a href="http://ME.TV" target="_blank">ME.TV</a> (encrypted)<br>
<br>
hdhomerun_config_gui shows the same four programs, listed this way:<br>
1 805 WCVB HD (encrypted)<br>
2 807 WHDH HD (encrypted)<br>
3 297 WHDH <a href="http://THIS.TV" target="_blank">THIS.TV</a> (encrypted)<br>
4 292 WCVB <a href="http://ME.TV" target="_blank">ME.TV</a> (encrypted)<br>
<br>
In each case, the "view" button will show the program in a VLC window.<br>
The first two look like HD, the others SD.<br>
<br>
When I point my browser to the HDHRP at <a href="http://192.168.1.104/linup.html" target="_blank">192.168.1.104/linup.html</a>, the<br>
"detect channels" button finds 333+ channels.<br>
The "Basic Channel" and "Subscribed Channels" lists are empty, but the "All<br>
Channels" list shows many channels, including:<br>
802 WENH HD<br>
803 WBPX HD<br>
804 CBS4HD<br>
805 WCVB HD<br>
806 WFXT HD<br>
807 WHDH HD<br>
808 WLVI HD<br>
809 WMUR HDTV<br>
810 NECN HD<br>
It also shows MSNBC twice, at channels 40 and 901, and Al Jazeera<br>
America at 107. (For reference, the STB shows MSNBC at 40 but not 901,<br>
and Al Jazeera at 107 and 254.)<br>
<br>
For example, while viewing WHDH, following the link<br>
<a href="http://192.168.1.104/status.html?page=tuner0" target="_blank">http://192.168.1.104/status.html?page=tuner0</a> shows:<br>
<br>
Virtual Channel 807 WHDH HD<br>
Frequency 633.000 MHz<br>
Program Number 2<br>
Authorization subscribed<br>
CCI Protection unrestricted<br>
CGMS Protection n/a<br>
Modulation Lock qam256<br>
PCR Lock locked<br>
Signal Strength 99% (-1.1 dBmV)<br>
Signal Quality 100% (37.6 dB)<br>
Symbol Quality 100%<br>
Streaming Rate 16.645 Mbps<br>
Resource Lock none<br>
<br>
<br>
In MythTV backend setup, when I used "Fetch channels from listing<br>
source" I got entries for no HD programs and only some of the SD<br>
programs (not, for example, MSNBC or Al Jazeera America). "Scan for<br>
channels" with a check for decryption took a long time, but found many<br>
more programs including the HD programs available OTA (but still not<br>
MSNBC or Al Jazeera America).<br>
<br>
mythfilldatabase runs, but mythfrontend shows no program information for<br>
the HD channels.<br>
<br>
I would like MythTV to show WHDH HD as channel 7, to match their<br>
OTA channel number. When I set that up using the channel editor,<br>
and tried to view WHDH HD using Live TV, mythfrontend displayed an error<br>
"Irrecoverable recorder error" and crashed. To recover, I used "killall<br>
mythfrontend.real".<br>
<br>
I also tried setting the channel number to 807 to match the HDhomerun<br>
Prime listings, but then Live TV only got as far as "Loading..." before<br>
crashing.<br>
<br>
<br>
When MythTV asks the HDHomeRun Prime to change channels, does it<br>
specify:<br>
<br>
1) the QAM channel and program number? If so, why doesn't the channel<br>
editor display those parameters for each channel?<br>
<br>
<br>
2) the Comcast channel number? If so, why doesn't the channel editor<br>
get pre-loaded with the channel number showed in the HDHR's scan?<br>
<br>
<br>
How should I set MythTV up to access the HD programs?<br>
