[QUOTE="jozzy, post: 168237, member: 53144"] Thanks for putting this out there! So, I gave it a shot but TV Server does not find any channels when it does the QAM scan. I suspect it is probably not scanning all the US QAM frequencies. I could not find a file to edit the QAM frequencies to scan, does one exist? I found this post on a gbpvr forum that discusses the US QAM frequencies, [URL="http://forums.gbpvr.com/showpost.php?p=208906&postcount=118"]http://forums.gbpvr.com/showpost.php?p=208906&postcount=118[/URL]. It looks like my cableco is using the STD standard. I also found this one on mythtv, [URL="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Adding_QAM_Channels_For_HDTV_Tuner_Cards"]http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Adding_QAM_Channels_For_HDTV_Tuner_Cards[/URL]. Another option is the Access Database from my WinTV software, thats the included Hauppauge software for their cards. The DB stores the channels it found along with the frequencies. I am not sure if I can manually add an ATSC channel to TV Server using this info. A sample: "preferred_name: WABC-HD preferred_number: 1071 description: Clear QAM Source WABC-HD freq_actual: 589250 channel: 85" [/QUOTE]
