Synopsis::

I'm trying to set up the TV module from the settings wizard. MP cannot detect my city (NY), so I attempt to manual scan. But manual scan crashes MP every time. I'm setting up a Time Warner Digital cable box that is connected to the TV card through S-Video.

Here's the Error.log file:

No replies. Did I post incorrectly?

Can anyone offer some input?

Hi,
For channel scanning you should use MP Setup (Configuration) -> Television -> Capture Cards -> your tuner & Edit.

Theres a bug in Wizard from inside MP & scanning for channels, you can read about the bug in Mantis & it's not fixed yet.

I found that while searching, but that scan doesn't find even the one channel that my STB is tuned to. But I am realizing that since this is an STB that will have to be controlled with an IR blaster, I may be barking up the wrong configuration tree.

Can you suggest some resources on setting up a system with a digital cable STB and IR blaster, or is this not yet possible? Remote is a Firefly.

Thanks in advance.
