[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1049609, member: 82144"] I don't know what you'd already done, but in this scenario you certainly have nothing to gain from uninstalling. In other words, it won't change the way TV Server behaves. Okay. The logs do look a little better to me. I wouldn't say the lineup is perfect as the info still doesn't look complete... but it looks like we've grabbed all of the available information. Here is where it gets exponentially harder for me to investigate as I don't have direct access to your cable feed, I'm not sure what to expect from Comcast, and I'm not sure what you expect either. A few questions for you... [LIST] [*]Roughly what proportion is "most"? [*]How many channels do you expect in total (based on WMC7 and/or N-PVR)? [*]Does N-PVR find correct channel names and numbers? [*]How long do WMC7 and N-PVR take to scan (and/or do you know whether they actually scan with the tuner or download a lineup from the internet)? [/LIST] What I can see is that there are not one but three references to WBFF in the lineup from channel 10: I don't know if you're referring to one of them specifically (???)... but yes, all of them are marked as encrypted because Comcast has set the "access controlled" flag for them. With reference to zap2it: I'm aware of the website, but I don't have a hope of knowing how to check your lineup unless you can supply a zip code. That I can explain. :) FCC rules mandate that certain channels are offset. You can refer to this link: [url]http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2011-title47-vol4/xml/CFR-2011-title47-vol4-sec76-612.xml[/url] The corresponding frequency plans are laid out in table form here: [url]http://www.jneuhaus.com/fccindex/cablech.html[/url] I also attach the spreadsheet from which I generated MPs frequency list. In summary... I accept that MP is falling short of your expecations... but I'm not sure how to improve from here. Answering my 4 questions above would be a good start. Beyond that, I definitely need more detailed info - lineups, zip code, perhaps access to your server. Comparisons with reference to WMC7 and/or N-PVR in general and for specific channels [to point out MP's failures] would be a good target. I accept that you may not feel able or have time to provide this information. All I can say in response is that unfortunately there is nothing I can do without it. mm [/QUOTE]
