[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 937051, member: 82144"] Could it be because the tuner was in use in another application? Good luck with whatever other software you try. For anyone else reading this in future: [LIST=1] [*]It is better to start a thread -->[URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/forums/television-mytv-frontend-and-tv-server.90/']here[/URL]<-- than revive such an old thread. [*]Post your log files as per the instructions -->[URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/16_Support/3_Forums/2_Log_Files']here[/URL]<-- so we have the information we need to be able to help. [*]If you use the analog *and* digital (ATSC+QAM) tuners on an HVR-2250 (or any other "hybrid" tuner for that matter), make sure you configure the two tuners as a hybrid as described -->[URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/02_TV_Servers/1_Hybrid_Cards']here[/URL]<--. Attempting to use the analog tuner(s) and digital tuner(s) without doing this will almost certainly result in problems. [*]Analog tuners do not have much use in the US anymore unless your cable provider still has analog cable channels (this is getting rarer and rarer), you're attempting to connect your cable box to your PC, or you want to receive FM radio. [*]Let scans run all the way through. I know it is tempting to stop them, however the scan is done by physical channel (ie. not by the channel numbers that your cable box or TV show you) so you would not necessarily expect to find channels on the first dozen scans. [*]For scanning a digital cable connection, scan with a digital "ATSC" tuner and enable "Tune QAM instead of ATSC". Most folks should select "QAM Standard" or "QAM HRC". If they don't work or some channels are missing, try the other options. [*]For scanning for digital over-the-air channels from an aerial (ATSC), scan with a digital "ATSC" tuner and do *not* enable "Tune QAM instead of ATSC". [*]For scanning an analog cable connection, can with an "analog" tuner, select the appropriate country, and select "cable" as source type. [*]When connecting a cable or satellite (eg. DirecTV, Dish) set top box to a PC, follow the instructions -->[URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/3_IRSS_%28IR_Server_Suite%29/Set_Top_Box_Blasting']here[/URL]<--. Note this is a complex setup.
