[mythtv-users] HD Homerun won't lock on some QAM channels

[John P Poet]

I am trying to put together a Myth box for my sister.  For HD, I
decided to try one of the HDHR units.  Where she lives, OTA is SOL, so
I have to use QAM.

In testing the settup, I am having trouble getting Myth to tune two of
the HD channels.  Three of the channels come in just fine.  The get a
signal locked very quickly with LAMGV.  The two stations that will not
lock, get LAmGV instead.

If I start mythbackend with "-v siparser,channel", I get:

Which indicates it thinks that channel is encrypted?  That channel is
not encrypted.  My Samsung HDTV will tune and show it just fine (no
cable card, or anything).

Any help in solving this is appreciated.

Thanks,

John
