A signal strength related issue? (1 Viewer)

[MickT61]

I have just rebuilt my HTPC replacing my Intel motherboard (DH77DF) with an ASUS P8H77-I. The reason for the rebuild was because the Intel motherboard would not boot with the DigitalNow Quad tuner card installed, so after much heartache I went to the ASUS alternative.
My problem is that with Mediaportal 1.5 installed and the quad tuner drivers loaded I can only get a few of the local free to air (DVB-T) channels these comprise the ABC and SBS channel ranges. I note that under Windows Media Centre (WMC) I can get the full range of local broadcast stations.
So there you have it, same tuner card but different software. Is this something other members have experienced? Is it a signal strength related issue? Or, is it just MediaPortal?
I look forward to any feedback you can provide. I ran Mediaportal 1.4 for some months before the rebuild and really loved the functionality and presentation, so would hate to go back to WMC.

Hello MickT61

I think more likely it is that TV Server does not have up-to-date frequencies for your region.
What region are you selecting when you scan?
Have you tried "all regions"?

Thanks for the quick response!
I'll reload MP 1.5 and take on your advice - I'll let you now how it goes.
Thanks again!

Ok, so I reloaded MP but as 1.6 had been released I figured I'd do a clean install of that. Anyway, completed the install (all went well) and then redid the TV Server - set for all regions. All the channels came in - brilliant!
Thanks for your help.

Great!
Are you able to provide us with the updated frequencies for your region so that other people won't run into the same problem?

No worries.
I have included an exported XML file containing the TV frequencies for the Tuggeranong region in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) where I live.
I hope this is ok?
