I'm using another solution. I was able to hookup DVBViewer to my Octopus Net tuner and it made a scan of all channels. I imported this into the Octocast Tool and made a m3u export to Mediaportal.

It seems that the missing channels all work now.

However, I'm confused.

I'm pretty certain my cable provider has a list of 256qam and sr900 channels. And my list until now was all on the 256qam and sr6900.

The DVBViewer scan has given me all 64qam channels with symbolrate 6875. While it also scanned 256qam and sr6900.

Strange thing is, the channels also work with 64qam and sr 6875.

If the channels work on 64 or 256 and 6900 and 6875. What is then the difference between the modulation and symbol rates? Is one preferred over another? 256qam gives more data in a packet / higher quality, correct? But what about the symbol rate.
