[QUOTE="mrceolla, post: 1242165, member: 109048"] I think I finally found what I was looking for. At least part of it. It looks like I don't have a problem regarding "Unknown" channels after all. [URL="https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/Scan+ATSC"]Scan ATSC[/URL] "After the scan completes, check the [URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/TV+Channels'][U]TV Channels[/U][/URL] list. Some channels do not have names so will be named "Unknown...", however the vast majority (80%+) of your channels should have correct names and numbers. If this is not the case (ie. you have a lot of channels named "Unknown...") it [B]might[/B] mean that the scan didn't have long enough to grab all the channel information from the CableCARD. Ensure you set the SDT/VCT timeout to at least 120 seconds as instructed above, and consider increasing the value (anything more than 300 seconds is excessive and will not help) and rescanning to get correct channel information. If you decide to rescan, make sure you delete all channels first because TV Server does not update channel names after the channels have been created."

Doesn't matter I guess. 80% or so of the channels show up as DRM'd in the HDHR web interface which means MP can't play or record them? If that is true, MP won't work for my Dad.
