[QUOTE="nzdreamer55, post: 699334, member: 106790"] Right on Walkman AA! That is really a great idea! It isn't too convoluted. Thanks for sharing. I did visit the silicondust site and noted that there are more channels that I can get than are listed on their site. No sure why, but I discovered them during my scans and testing each channel. What can I use to edit and write a xml file? Also I thought that cable providers will send out multiple channels on one frequency so I am not sure how just knowing the frequency will help you get the correct channels. It gets you really close, but not each specific channel. Do you create your xml file from scratch or are you taking your scan results figuring out which ones channels are actually Clear QAM and just editing it down so that you have a back up file for rescaning and trouble shooting? In Media Portal the scans usually have a unknown name, the frequency(thanks for pointing to the wikipedia article about channel to frequency conversion) then a 3 digit code(binary?) that seems to be related to the Transport ID or the Service ID some how. I'm not sure if this is part of the channel number after the dash/dot or not (I suspect that the cable companies can assign these any way they want). [/QUOTE]
