Here are the logs.
Also, so I don't confuse you, the avermedia software was working prior to the MP installation.
I don't know if that means anything to you.
Thx
The MediaPortal log shows you're not using TVServer...

Logs like fine - I'm confused as to what is supposed to be wrong here...

I can confirm that my ati theatre 650 works with QAM.... partially
The scan brings up a bunch of QAM channels, a majority are scrambled (no surprise), and about 10-15 are unscrambled and are all my local channels. The weird thing is though, that only about 3 or 4 actually work, the other local channels come up with a red icon (The scan even found the call letters) in the tv setup channel listings, and when I attempt to tune to them i get the error No Video Or Audio Detected. I know for a fact that they are broadcasting because my normal tv with a QAM tuner tunes them. Any suggestions?
I was getting the same thing too - the red icon next to the call letters. It turns out that this was not the actual channel, the actual channel was one of the green icons with the 'unknown...' name. After I ran the scan for both qam standard and qam alternative, I basically had to try each channel in mediaportal and see if it came in. Once I figured out which channel was which I went back, renamed them to the correct call letters and removed all the others that were scrambled. I think I ended up with about 5 unscrambled local channels.
The problem I'm having of late, though, is that I can't map the output from SchedulesDirect to these local qam channels. I tried naming the qam channels the same as they are named for the corresponding analog channel from SchedulesDirect, but when the guide updates, it doesn't automatically map the channels based on the name, instead it just creates that analog channel. So I end up with the same channel twice - one qam with no guide data and one analog which doesn't tune anywhere. Anyone have any thoughts about how to map qam channels?
Thanks,

I had that problem. I went into the sql database itself, looked in the main table of all the channels, and found that there's a column which includes details of the schedulesdirect look-up for that specific channel (linked to the fake non-workign analog channels).
I copied that, and pasted it to the correct row, for the equivalent QAM channel.
I then went back into tvserver, and deleted the non-working analog channels from the channel list.
I forced shcedules direct to update on next tvserver startup, and then rebooted.
Let me know if you need more specific instructions, I'm just typing this from memory of doing it a few weeks back.

Oh, and you need to turn off the option in the schedules direct plugin, so that it doesnt automatically add digital channels for you...
