In the past, scanning in my analogue cable channels resulted in green balls next to the channels, with the FTA flag set to yes. Scanning in ATSC antenna channels, resulted in red balls next to the channels with FTA set to no. None of the channels are encrypted, and they all worked fine, so I didn't really care that the FTA status for my ATSC channels was wrong.
Upon installing 1.2B, none of my ATSC antenna channels would work. They all gave the error that the channel was not mapped to any card (not complaing that channel was encrypted). I was about to tear my install apart, thinking that the upgrade had gone awry, when I luckily tried a rare ATSC channel that had FTA set to yes (I had recently scanned it in as a new channel using 1.2A which correctly set FTA = yes). That channel worked, and since I was at the server by that point, I could see the difference that channel had to the rest. I tried setting FTA = yes on some other channels, and they all started to work.
I've got them all switched now, and they all work fine, but for anyone else running into this problem the error message is misleading since the channels are mapped to cards as they always have been. Anyone with a database that's been running for a while, will have all their ATSC channels entered as FTA=no, and the 1.2B won't work with those channels.
I've created the attached logs, by setting CBLT back to FTA=no & then attempting a preview on the server. It fails with the no mapped card error, and then I change the FTA flag and try again - it works.
I've not heard of any encrypted ATSC channels in N.A., so I wonder could the MP installer check the DB for ATSC channels, and ensure that the FTA flag is set to yes?
