[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 831323, member: 82144"] Hi again :) Okay. Well, let's be practical. It is possible to add channels manually. If you know some of the channel numbers for channels that you're interested in then we can use that as a way to test whether there is only a problem with scanning or if there seems to be a more general problem. So here are some instructions for adding a channel manually: 1. Go to the TV Channels section in TV Server configuration. 2. Click "add". 3. Enter a name up the top. 4. Click "add". 5. Enter the following details: - channel = (the physical channel number of the channel eg. 44) - frequency = 0 (leave as default) - input type = cable - country = Canada - is VCR signal = untick - video source = tuner - audio source = tuner/automatic 6. Click "OK" and "OK" again. 7. Expand the TV Channels node in the left panel and go to the TV Mapping section. 8. Select the PVR-150 tuner up the top. 9. Select the test channel on the left and use the '>' button to map/link the channel to the tuner. Now you should be able to test that channel with the preview function back in the TV Channels section or in the Manual Control section (start timeshifting). If any of that doesn't make sense then let me know and I'll try to explain in more detail. I notice you also have another analog tuner (part of a hybrid tuner perhaps?) that you may be able to test with. If you send a PM to the guy from -->[URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/general-support-51/solution-all-most-software-encoder-based-tv-cards-90355/"]this thread[/URL]<-- then he might be able to direct you to some software encoders that would enable that tuner to work.
