[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1022815, member: 82144"] [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/members/breese.114299/']breese[/URL] Something really interesting may be happening with WOW: they seem to now be including the channel info that is normally carried out of band (ie. not receivable by a clear QAM tuner) in band. In other words, you [B]may[/B] be able to get channel details for all WOW cable channels now by scanning a single frequency! :) Please try the attached patch and see what happens. You may find that all channels are added when the tuner locks onto the first frequency. It may also be necessary to bump up the SDT/VCT timeout in order to give TV Server enough time to receive all the channel info. In other words, this is what I'm recommending: 1. Increase SDT/VCT timeout to 600. [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/06_General#Scan_Tab[/url] 2. Delete all cable channels. 3. Stop the TV service. 4. Install the patch (make sure you take a backup). 5. Start the TV service. 6. Start a "QAM standard" scan. 7. When the tuner locks onto signal for the first time, cancel the scan. Cancelling won't stop the scan immediately - TV Server will finish grabbing all available channel info before stopping. 8. Post log files. Does that all make sense? PS: You might want to keep this information quiet. In other words, don't complain too loudly to WOW. This change has huge benefits for you. If WOW didn't intend to make the change then you definitely don't want them to change things back to how they were before. ;) [/QUOTE]
