ATSC scan - channel says "Nothing found" (1 Viewer)

[raceer]

I've been trying to set up all of my ATSC over-the-air channels in the TV Server. For the most part, the scanner works well. For non-existant channels, it typically says "No signal" (as expected).

However, for a certain ATSC channel (35.1), it gives a result of "Nothing found". This is a one channel that I know exists -- and is received correctly by my television digital tuner. In fact, the scanner displays a full green bar for both Signal level and Signal quality.

So, two questions:
1. What does "Nothing found" mean? (Obviously, it is different from "No signal")
2. Can I force it to scan and add just that channel even though it thinks there is nothing found?
2. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Notes:
- I did the dvbfix update.
- I have reinstalled everything multiple times.
- I have also tried with the nightly 1.0.1 test build.

I have again tried the latest 1.0 SVN build (02-28-2009 00-07h - Revision:21813). Unfortunately, I am still getting the same result for that one channel; it says "Nothing found" even though I know the channel exists and is coming in clear. All of the other channels seem to work perfectly.

I took a look at the tv_server.log file (see snip below) for the time when it scanned the channel in question. Note the last two lines. First, it says "signal:100 quality:100" -- indicating the channel is coming in perfectly clear. Next, it says "Scan Got 0 from 0 channels". I don't know exactly what this means. Does anyone have any ideas?

(P.S. If I need to post other logs, please tell me. Thank you).

Did you fix it?

I am having the same setup as yours and the problem is also the same. If you found a fix, please post it.

Thanks
