[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1255312, member: 141969"] When I first started using MP, I found it difficult to understand what "Map Channels" does and how to use it. If you are not sure how to use it, simply perform "scan channels" for each tuner in turn. Remember to select your country and transmitter before performing each scan (otherwise the scan won't find any channels). Repeating "scan channels" for each tuner in turn has these advantages: (1) You don't need to figure out how to use "Map Channels". (2) It automatically handles tuners for different systems (e.g. DVB-T and DVB-S). (3) It automatically handles tuners with different capabilities (e.g. DVB-T and DVB-T2). My HTPC is like this -- I have one tuner card that receives both DVB-T and DVB-T2, but I have two other tuner cards that receive only DVB-T. (4) It automatically handles tuner cards with different performance (e.g. tuners with high sensitivity and tuners with low sensitivity). My HTPC is like this -- the DVB-T2 tuner card can receive more DVB-T channels than the DVB-T tuner card (because the DVB-T2 tuner card is more sensitive). (5) It checks that each tuner is working correctly and receiving a signal (e.g. it checks that you have not forgotten to plug in the aerial cable). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
