Strange, I got SP3 too and it installs fine. Goto Start Menu -> Run and type: winver

What build do you have?

Mine's Build 2600.xpsp.080413-2111 : Service Pack 3

...but you should be able to install anyway.

Just to clarify, you have a beta version of SP3 I think not the real final version. Please attach a screenshot of the message and all logs.

Hi,

I know this is a perennial problem, but I cannot scan any analogue channels with MP. And it isn't just that I can't do it in this SVN, I have actually NEVER managed to get it to work. I noted form posts for some of the other releases (most notably those from ARE2 - I think that was the name) that this problem is not uncommon and many users experience the same problems. For my part, I have run MP under XP and Vista and the behaviour is consistent - analogue channels are not a happening thing. By contrast the (crappy) Hauppaugge software works with my set-up, as does Cyberlink Power Cinema (and in the past I've tried GBV which I think was happy too). I have tried it without any Hauppaugge software (except for drivers) and which all the Hauppaugge software (and with just the codecs installed). It never makes any difference. Like the other users I have the following symptoms:

1. Scan takes about 3-4 minutes to complete. No tuner lock, no channels found
2. Makes no difference if source is cable or antenna
3. Country makes no difference
4. Once selected you can't leave the analogue tuning screen in the config (see screen shot, note the header!)
5. Once you've tried to tune the OK button no longer closes the config app (you have to click the 'X')
6. Once you've tried to tune Manual Control continues to report "Scanning" for BOTH analogue adapters (have to stop/start service to clear) - see screen shot.
7. Error message says something about installing audio codec - but I think this may be bogus...

I deleted all my logs then started the TV Service and did a scan, so the logs should be pretty clean except for the bits you'll be interested in.

I only care as in New Zealand there is one channel which is NOT digital (TV companies playing games with each other) but it has good stuff and I'd really like to be able to watch it...plus it is supposed to work...so we should fix it.

If there is anyone out there that does have the analogue going on an HVR3000, perhaps you can write a how-to that details how you've got the tuners grouped (in terms of hybrids - perhaps there is a trick here) and what Hauppaugge software you've got installed etc. - we just can't get it to go...

PLUS - if there's anything you need me to try just let me know....

Thanks!

B.

I have also one additional question regardig channels scan in DVB-S: only few channels are found. For ex scan does not detect Canal+ Film HD - what is the reason? My friend told me, that this could be connected with weak signal stenght - but for ex on channel TVP HD test i have very strong signal.

The TsReader's HD video format detection still seems to be hardcoded to 720x576.
Problem with HD channels (live and recordings)

Have problems tuning some channels in NA (DVB). I attached the logs when trying to tune one of these.

Try to use these settings for scanning - if you're on Canal Digital / Thor 0,8W

I just updated the HD file for Hotbird 13°E on SVN.

Please try the attached one and report back.
