Analog Cable Channels not found (1 Viewer)

[rlongfield]

I am having a problem getting Media Portal to scan analog cable channels. I've selected the country as either canada or United states and I still get "no signal".
If I change the Source to antenna Media Portal find channels 2 through 13. Then channels 14 through 69 returned "no signal" This is also a bit odd as channels 26 through 31 are analog stations on Cogeco cable.

I can attach whatever logs are needed. Since so many channels are no longer Analog this is now more of an exercise in setting up Media Portal.

Hello rlongfield

If I change the Source to antenna Media Portal find channels...

This suggests that the channel -> frequency mapping for USA and Canada doesn't work for your cable provider. The mapping is a Microsoft thing.

...2 through 13. Then channels 14 through 69 returned "no signal" This is also a bit odd as channels 26 through 31 are analog stations on Cogeco cable.

Are you sure that 26-31 are not virtual channel numbers? TV Server scans physical channel numbers.
I note that 12 channels found by TV Server does not equal 6 channels available. Have you tried to preview the channels and check whether there are duplicates in the channels found by TV Server? That can sometimes happen with strong signal...

I can attach whatever logs are needed.

Please *always* post *all* logs - the more information, the better (within reason)... and it is a pain having to ask. If you're saying that you don't know where to find the log files:
1. Open TV Server configuration.
2. Click "open log directory" in the top left corner.
3. Zip up all the files you find there and post them here.

(Note: for an MP problem you would use the watchdog tool as described -->here<--.)

Hello rlongfield

I'll have to do some digging to see what mapping I'll need to use for Cogeco Cable.

I assume that channels 26-31 are actual channel numbers, my analog tuner in my TV sees 26-31 (that is where the assumption comes from). The 2-13 channels are real channels with no duplicates.

Ok I wasn't sure what I should attach. I've been playing with my setup and I don't have the right cable on the right card currently. I'll get the logs attached later tonight.
