[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1295327, member: 141969"] Hmm, this is very puzzling. Some points: (1) The tuning-parameters xml files can be out of date, but if you scan using the "All regions" selection, MP should find everything that there is to find (but the scan takes longer, of course). (2) Do you know the frequency of the DVB-T2 MUX? When you perform a Mendip scan or an all-regions scan, does MP actually try to scan the DVB-T2 frequency? (3) If MP does scan the DVB-T2 frequency, what is the outcome? (4) It would be worthwhile repeating the scan with TV Server's log level set to DEBUG (this is different from MP's log level). You specify TV Server's log level in the "General" section in "TV Server Config". (5) There are various timeouts associated with scanning (as mentioned by Jasmeet above). Try doubling all of the scanning-related timeouts to see if that makes a difference. (Probably not all are relevant, but I don't know which are the significant timeouts.) See [URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/General+Configuration']this page[/URL] in the Wiki. (6) Does your TV have a signal-strength display? If it does, how does the strength and quality of the DVB-T2 MUX compare to the strength and quality of the DVB-T1 MUXes? Tuners in TV sets are generally more sensitive than those used for PCs, so a marginal DVB-T2 signal might be receivable by your TV set but not by the TBS tuner card. (7) According to [URL='https://ukfree.tv/transmitters/tv/Mendip']this page[/URL], the Mendip transmitter is undergoing some maintenance work this week, so it is possible that the broadcast signal strength has been reduced temporarily. The page indicates that the frequency of the DVB-T2 MUX is 586 MHz (but there is no guarantee that the page is correct, especially if there have been recent changes to MUX frequencies). (8) A slim possibility is a corrupted channel database. You can correct this by deleting all of your TV channels and radio channels, and then performing a scan. However, this also deletes your entire recording schedule, so I don't recommend doing this unless you are desperate or don't mind losing the recording schedule. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
