[QUOTE="Odoyle, post: 243493, member: 47541"] Hopeful news here: I've had the Hauppauge HVR-1600 #74041 for over a month now and have only had luck getting analog channels. No QAM, no OTA ATSC. Now when I plug the coax straight into my Panasonic display I get whole swaths of stations, including the HD channels (this led me to believe that I am indeed getting Clear QAM freqs). Build after rebuild of my HTPC kept getting me nowhere; WinTV would not lock onto anything, MediaPortal would return some frequencies but always display "No Audio/No Video" or "Scrambled Channel." I was heartbroken. I even got Hauppauge to email me some beta software that supposedly corrects their hardware's ability to lock channels broadcast in Cable Standard HRC. Still no luck. I almost returned my card. Last night I discovered [URL="http://www.coolstf.com/tsreader/"]TSReader Lite[/URL] and thought I'd use it to analyze my cable signal. It only offers to scan IRC or HRC (several fewer options than WinTV or MediaPortal offer) but it actually locked onto about a dozen stations! Most were junk, but 3 channels and their substations were broadcasting audio and video that could be streamed to VLC! I had hit paydirt! Better yet, today I manually entered some channels (I settled on IRC for my provider since the channels matched up with what is [URL="http://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/lineupui?Cmd=LocationProgramsWeb&Country=US&Postcode=30605"]displayed at Silicon Dust's site[/URL]) that corresponded to the HD broadcasts. Even though they weren't locked in the scan, manual entry got me a picture! So now I know that I am getting [i]something[/i], I just have to figure out how to use the data I've been mining and incorporate it into MediaPortal. Any ideas? So if you're out of luck and have been feeling down like me, give TSReader Lite a try. Corroborate your findings with your zip code at Silicon Dust and work from there as I have. I feel like I'm a lot closer now than I was just 36 hours ago. Oh, TSReader exports HTML files which should be handy in generating some support from readers like myself (and you!): 657MHz: [url=http://www.400bpm.com/web/htpc/wsb.htm]SI Parsing by TSReader 2.8.46a[/url] 663MHz: [url=http://www.400bpm.com/web/htpc/wxia.htm]SI Parsing by TSReader 2.8.46a[/url] 669MHz: [url=http://www.400bpm.com/web/htpc/waga.htm]SI Parsing by TSReader 2.8.46a[/url] [/QUOTE]
