[mythtv-users] no channels found HDHR3-4DC

It looks to me like we are using different versions of mythtv
(fixes/0.27(v0.27-212-gb93fb14)). However, we both experience inconsistent
behavior in the screen presentation and options. In most cases I am
presented with a screen which allows a Full Scan with the option to select
your country. Unfortunately,  the Netherlands is not in the list. I have
tried selecting a number of neighboring countries without any luck.
Occasionally there is no country selection, instead there are options to
scan the Cable (and some other options I cannot reproduce), together with
Modulation, and channel range. Here I used qam64. This leads to a lot of
scanning without results.

Scan type Full Scan (Tuned) has different fields compared to yours (but in
my case the options are consistent and reproducible):

Frequency
Bandwidth
Inversion
Constellation
LP Coderate
HP Coderate
Trans. Mode
Guard Interval
Hierarchy

I leave all of them at auto except for frequency (304000000) and
constellation (qam64).

The field 'Symbol Rate' was also filled approprietely?


I have never had an option to fill in the Symbol Rate anywhere. This sounds
interesting! Maybe this is my problem?

Scanning transports always stops immediately in my case, it does not scan
anything.

Thanks,
