[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1215128, member: 82144"] Hello jeff2020 That's a huge statement for a first post! I'm the person who added CableCARD tuner support for MP1. I specifically engaged with SiliconDust and tested HDHR PRIME tuners with CableCARDs... and they worked... and still do work. Plenty of people have tested and confirm the same. Therefore I respectfully disagree with you and challenge you to provide evidence for your claim. P.S. I assume you mean Media[B]Portal[/B] not MediaPlayer. :) If you have the exact situation described above (which nobody except yourself can currently verify because you haven't provided log files or any other supporting evidence), the same responses will apply. In other words, your problem has two possible causes: [LIST=1] [*]You haven't configured TV Server correctly as instructed in our wiki (manual) and various threads in this forum, OR... [*]Your cable provider does not include your missing channels in their CableCARD channel lineup. [/LIST] If (1) is applicable, the problem is entirely of your own making. If you'd like assistance, I'd be happy to help you configure TV Server correctly so that you get your full lineup. If (2) is applicable, the problem is the making of your cable provider. Anecdotally this problem affects very few cable providers/head-ends. Unfortunately there's nothing we can do about it. Potential solutions: [LIST=1] [*]If you're only missing a few channels, you can add them manually via the procedure described in my previous reply. [*]You can contact your cable provider and complain that their CableCARD lineup is missing channels in your area. AFAIK there are FCC regulations that require them to maintain the accuracy of their CableCARD lineup, so you have excellent grounds for complaining. [*]It's almost certainly possible to automatically import your full lineup if your tuner somehow provides a full lineup listing. It'd have to be done differently for each type/brand of CableCARD tuner (ie. HDHR PRIME, Ceton, ATI etc.)... but it should be possible, and not difficult either. [/LIST] Unlike MediaPortal, those apps get their lineup directly from the tuner via a proprietary interface. We could do the same... but if we did, we'd only be able to tuners on a case-by-case basis like those apps do. We want to support [I]all[/I] CableCARD tuners. Sure, that's completely understandable. What about the other 2 options mentioned above? Given that this is your first post here, I have to say it hardly seems like you've given MediaPortal a fair chance. Don't know what gave you that impression. :S Nowhere in this forum or any other place will you find [current] documentation that says we don't support "the HDHR with CableCARDs". If you did find such a statement, I'd categorically deny it as false. As explained above, my conviction is that your problem is caused either by incorrect configuration or an incomplete lineup from your cable provider. Both of those things are completely outside our control. I can totally understand why you'd think MediaPortal is at fault, but appearances can be deceiving... and in this case - respectfully - I think you're mistaken. [/QUOTE]
