Analog (PVR 150) Autotune doesn't work fine.

Using Antenna:

1) selecting "Italy" and "antenna" very few channel found.
2) selecting "italy" and "cable" all channels are found
3) after deleting all channels and retuning, names are not discovered anymore, also reinstalling a fresh copy of MP (unistalling and manually removing remaining folders)

Please see attached images.

    Hi,

    1 & 2 are expected behaviour. Autotune scans different frequencies (read: less) when the input source is an aerial antenna. As for 3, the channel names are fetched from whatever channel name is found by the teletext grabber. The behaviour of this feature depends a lot on teletext type, I think, since when I autotune it finds the current program as channel name... ;-)

    That doesn't explain however why the channel names are found at first and never found again on subsequent scans. Maybe because you didn't remove the channels from the TV Database?

    Kind regards,
    Michel

    I disagree. I'm connected by a normal antenna, no cable. In italy there isn't cable service.
    Well, the autotune find a lot more channel using cable (about 50) than antenna(5). Please explain me why it is an expected behaviour. I'm confused

    Second point. No, I have removed the channel from the database. I have removed and reinstalled also the card from the configuration but nothing to do.
