How do I tune QAM Channels (1 Viewer)

[web4lackey]

OK, I unistalled/re-installed everything in the correct order and it is working with the exception of mapping the correct QAM channel to the channel from schedulesdirect. I have found a link on this, do you guys agree this is what I need to be doing? Media Center PC, HTPC news - Home Theater PC Digest - Mediaportal XMLTV Setup - North America

No you are making it harder that way. There is a plugin for schedulesdirect that works very well. Put it in the plugin folder that is in the tv server folder not the mediaportal folder. Here is the link to the version you need: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/attachments/plugins-47/18741d1206277310-schedules-direct-us-canadian-mexico-epg-plugin-updated-10-01-2007-schedulesdirectplugintve3-v1.1a.zip

I renamed all my channels to the numbers of the channel in my local digital cable lineup on schedulesdirect. Don't worry about changing the channel number because as far as I can tell it doesn't matter for QAM because it just looks for the right frequency. For example KCBSDT which is one of my QAM channels is channel 402. So I named it 402 and made the channel number 402 as well. Then I configured the schedulesdirect plugin to allow mapping by channel number and it picked up all my QAM channels just fine. The plugin will rename your channel names however you want them in the configuration so they won't stay as numbers.

Good luck. Reply back in here if you need anymore help.
