[QUOTE="textune, post: 1299712, member: 171307"] I have set up MP1 .34 on Win 11 Pro. I have a HDHomerun Expand DVB-C tuner, which I have used for about 10 years. Until about 2021 with MediaPortal, and that only. I have used MP for over 12 years. However I can't scan channels. When in TV-server setup, I scan for channels: [ATTACH type="full" width="551px" alt="Skærmbillede 2024-07-16 221541.png"]214165[/ATTACH] on the first of four tuners in the HDHomerun Expand box. (This, of course, is updated with the latest firmware from Silicondust). I scan for only one "transponder", "mux" or "QAM-channel". [ATTACH type="full" width="549px" alt="Skærmbillede 2024-07-16 221807.png"]214166[/ATTACH] This is DVB-C, and I really wonder: Where to select/specify Network ID ? Can't be found anywhere. Result of the scan was this: [ATTACH type="full" width="544px" alt="Skærmbillede 2024-07-16 222127.png"]214167[/ATTACH] No channel number (i.e. LCN, Logical Channel Number), no channel name. When attempting "search for transponder list", [ATTACH type="full" width="540px" alt="Skærmbillede 2024-07-16 223601.png"]214168[/ATTACH] I get this result very soon: [ATTACH type="full" width="541px" alt="Skærmbillede 2024-07-16 223820.png"]214169[/ATTACH] A look at the channels found from the single transponder scan yields: [ATTACH type="full" width="541px" alt="Skærmbillede 2024-07-16 224000.png"]214170[/ATTACH] The channels should be named "DR1" with channel number 1, "TV2 Øst" with channel number 8 and "ZDF" with channel number 18. There is absolutely no EPG to be found. My provider delivers via the EIT-table and a full EPG (8 days ahead) contained in each QAM-channel ("transponder"). To check before HDHomerun, I made a transport stream grab via TSReader, and had a friend who has worked in that area for over 25 years to analyze it. And he phoned me and said that all tables had the correct content. As a second check, I also set up MythTV on a Linux-pc (equipped with Mint 21.3). And it finds everything quite well. And produces the EPG as it should, and with the correct channel numbers etc. (And, btw., here I may specify Network ID) Friends have said to me, [I]Why don't you just abandon MediaPortal ? It is a piece of crap with really lousy documentation, where is the database specification ? They obviously don't understand DVB-C since the TV Server setup doesn't even ask for Network ID ?[/I] Anyway, i'll still stick to Media Portal, if this problem can be solved.
