Going through setup procedures for newly installed MP1.5. Have two tuners - Avermedia M780 and ATI 650. Service provider is Comcast Baltimore/Essex.
This thread describes my situation. I get the same problem with any channel that is identified in the scan. For example, WBFF-HD shows that it's un-encrypted, but trying preview returns Preview failed:NoSignalDetected. On the other hand, if it's an unknown channel like say "unknown 75-714" (also shown as un-encrypted) the preview works.
So what's the problem here? Is it like the referred to post suggest - "grabs the station name and other tuning information from the stream... instead of what the card is actually tuning to"? Comcast put erroneous info in the stream?
If all the above is indeed the case, then where does one find the correct frequencies etc if one would like to attempt to manually do the corrections?
Lastly... I don't have this problem with WMC7 or NextPVR. They find all the channels without any problems - no muss or fuss. Why is it that MP can't do the same? Hasn't MP been out for a long time and considered mature by now? This seems like a pretty fundamental core task of this type of software and it would seem like it should do it without much trouble or require the end user to go to extreme lengths in attempts to get it to work.[DOUBLEPOST=1388165424][/DOUBLEPOST]Terrific... Tried uninstalling MP and everything it installed (to include MySQL). Now I can't reinstall because the installation of MySQL produces the following error:
MySQL - set password error:1
Edit: Figured out the problem with the MySQL install.
