The new TV Server does not see Channel Nine and SBS when scanning for channels on DVB-T. Does any of the other Aussies have the same problem?
Is there a fix, or just good old fashioned entering the data by hand.

Also, Does anybody know how to combine analog and digital channels (so they have the same name, like we used to have with MP prior to the TV-Server)

You may need to put the exact frequencies in the scan file --see http://www.dba.org.au/index.asp?sectionID=22 for frequencies in your area.
The built in scanner may not have all frequencies covered.

In Melbourne I can get all channels (except SBS, which has never worked here, I suspect it's the antennat).

GagReflex · 2006-10-28, 05:25

I get everything here in Melbourne... Have you tried choosing "Australia - All Regions" instead of just choosing Brisbane??

sonome · 2006-10-28, 05:52

I've got the channel 9 & SBS problem as well (in Perth). Funnily enough, MP used to be the only tv software I've tried which found them. I guess manual entry is the way forward!

guytpetj · 2006-10-28, 06:52

Changing the frequencies in the "dvbt.xml' file did miracles.
Everything works fine now, that's one problem solved.

Any thoughts on how to combine analog and digital channels?
