[mythtv-users] TiVo Convert Experience - HDTV Video Card Recommendation

[Jim Shank]

Yes, using OTA in Denver, CO. I have a perfect view of the signal tower
itself about 20 miles away. I opened the box and upgraded the firmware
before doing anything else (leaned habit)

[root at myth Movies]# hdhomerun_config FFFFFFFF get /sys/version
20070512

I will admit, I am using a very simple antenna
(http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062080) and it is
rated for HD. 

I have attached the full output of the hdhr scan. I didn't see anything
about qam but found quite a few call sign entries, 11 in all:

LOCK: 8vsb (ss=79 snq=75 seq=100)
PROGRAM: 1: 9.1 KUSA-HD
PROGRAM: 2: 9.2 WX Plus
...
LOCK: 8vsb (ss=89 snq=90 seq=100)
PROGRAM: 3: 7.1 KMGH-HD
...
LOCK: 8vsb (ss=81 snq=30 seq=100)
PROGRAM: 1: 0.0 (no data)

SCANNING: 503000000 (us-bcast:19)
LOCK: 8vsb (ss=78 snq=80 seq=100)
PROGRAM: 3: 20.1 KTVD-DT

I guess I am wondering at this point if there is something that didn't get
upgraded that is causing the No Tables error. Is it talking about the
program tables or something I am supposed to have in the code indicating
what it should tune to.

Based on what you showed, it's finding NTSC broadcasts (standard 
broadcast).  Have you tried saving the hdhomerun_config <id> scan 0 
scan0.txt and then searching the result for either qam 
signals...or...call signs?
