Australia channel 9 group not working since upgrade (1 Viewer)

[MartyW]

Hi,
Until recently I was running MP 1.7.1 with windows 7 on my HTPC without any issues. All channels tuned and working fine. I decided to upgrade to Windows 10 and went the fresh install option. I then decided to try MP2 but there were some things I didn't like so I uninstalled it and installed MP 1.13. I had to tune my tuners in using the "Australia all regions safe" option as the MP settings for my area (Gold Coast) are incorrect since the channel frequencies changed last year. The tuners found the channels and I set up WebEPG. I then went into MP to test it all and discovered all the programs are working fine except the the channel 9 ones, including channel 9 Gold Coast, GEM, GO, 9LIFE. Also not working are those programs in the NBN group (a subsidiary of channel 9) which are on a totally different frequency.

I'm at a loss as to why since there have been no hardware changes to the HTPC and those channels were working fine on MP 1.7.1. It's not a signal problem as all those channels work fine on every other TV in the house.

At this stage I'm tempted to do a system restore back to before I installed MP2 since I suspect that installing and uninstalling that may have caused issues, but I thought I'd give here a try first. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello

I think the issue may be something to do with tuning details. The scan log shows that the Channel 9 channels were found twice on 2 different frequencies:

Presumably only one of those is actually correct... or maybe the second frequency is a weak signal from an adjacent/nearby region?

 

[MartyW]

Yes, we also pick up Brisbane signals here on the Gold Coast. Never caused an issue before though. There are double ups for just about every channel group. If this is an issue what can I do about it?

 

[mm1352000]

Unfortunately it looks like the Brisbane versions overwrite the Gold Coast versions in this case. So, try doing a manual scan of the Gold Coast frequency (578500 kHz, bandwidth = 7 MHz), then try viewing the channels again.

 

[MartyW]

Yep, that fixed it. There were still a few channels left that caused freeze ups so I deleted all channels and manually scanned each channel frequency for the Gold Coast from a list I found on the net. Thanks for your help

Unfortunately now the EPG has stopped working. Anyway, that's a separate issue and hopefully not too hard for me to figure out.
