[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1275162, member: 141969"] Umm, well there is bad news, and there is worse news. :( (1) First I selected one of my TBS tuners and used the old scanner to scan the Hannington transmitter for channels. Sadly, it did not find any :(. I suspected that this might be the case, as my TBS tuners are less sensitive than the tuners in my Humax DVR. That is the bad news. (2) To verify that the new scanner nevertheless works correctly, I copied the exe to the appropriate MP folder, and then invoked the exe. Windows Firewall displayed a pop-up asking me if I wanted to allow access, to which I responded "Yes". I then performed a scan of the Rowridge transmitter. The scanner should find 6 MUXes with channels in all of them. This is what it actually found: [ATTACH alt="new_scanner.jpg"]206141[/ATTACH] Notice that the scanner finds channels for MUXes 2 and 4, but find no channels for MUXes 1, 3, 5, and 6. (n) I restarted the new "TV Server Config" and scanned again, but the result was the same. :( I then reverted to the old scanner and rescanned. This is what the old scanner found; notice that the old scanner finds channels for all 6 of the MUXes: [ATTACH alt="old_scanner.jpg"]206142[/ATTACH] So I think that there is a problem with your changes. Notice that I was using the [B]Enable channel movement detection[/B] setting. I [I]always[/I] use this setting because: [LIST] [*]It preserves the channel renames that I have performed. [*]It preserves the "omit from EPG" status that I have set for the channels that I don't want. [*]It preserves any existing recording schedules for the channels that I do want. [/LIST] Have you perhaps been testing without that setting enabled? -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
