[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1167040, member: 82144"] Hello and welcome :) Here's the problem: Getting the SD plugin to link guide data to the channels scanned in by TV Server can be a pain for people with cable (like you). In some cases it will create incorrect guide channel + TV Server scanned channel matches, as you've seen: When it can't find a match it often creates channels with beautiful guide data that can't be tuned, as you've also seen: Unfortunately it isn't easy to fix the links. That's the reason why I recommend people with cable pull their SD data using mc2xml and import it using TV Server's XMLTV plugin. The XMLTV plugin gives you explicit control over which guide channel is linked to each TV Server channel. [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/13_Setup_Guides/2_TV_Setup/4_TV_Guide_Setup_%28EPG%29/XMLTV_mc2xml']http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/13_Setup_Guides/2_TV_Setup/4_TV_Guide_Setup_(EPG)/XMLTV_mc2xml[/URL] In your case I would indeed recommend "purging" and starting over after disabling the SD plugin. This is a "red herring" - not relevant for you. When scanning with a CableCARD tuner you should be selecting tuning mode "digital cable". That is explained [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/02_TV_Servers/7b_Scan_ATSC#Tuning_mode']in the wiki[/URL] as well as in the [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/cablecard-tuner-support-for-mediaportal-1.112585/']setup guide[/URL] that a lot of people use. QAM tuning frequencies are not applicable for "digital cable" scans. That's why the field is greyed out (disabled). Hope that helps! :) [/QUOTE]
