That's quite annoying :|

If we removed them automatically then it could lead to settings being lost when people chop and change tuners.
To get rid of them, just select and click "remove" in the lower right corner. Couldn't be much easier, and this is documented in the wiki.

Cool.. was unsure that it did not do it automatically. So did not want to medal. But now I know how and why it does that... makes sense

thanks for replying

But it's not going to be used for Cable. It's for Terrestrial TV from the outside roof areal.
I took a look at the guide. Some what confusing unless it's because it's aimed towards Cable?

Oooh, i didn't know that. You are right, the guide is made for DVB-C.

Hi,

I was following robbo's guide and I have a question regarding channel scanning...

I only have one card in the media centre. A DVB-T quad card.

On the tutorial it says to...
Put a tick in the "Create "Digital Terrestrial" Group" option.

Is this only needed if there is more than one card e.g DVB-T & DVT-S, DVB-C?

Or is it better to use the group option?

Am I also correct when reading the tutorial that I will not need to do any channel combining?
So all the channels should appear once and that's that?

Thanks

Hi there,

I could be wrong, but as you have the same type of signal (only DVBT) then no combining is required.

Similarly as you will only be receiving DVBT you dont really have to use the "create DVBT" group option... your choice if you want the channels in that group.

Just ensure all the required channels are mapped to all the tunners.

Hi jay,

Thanks for replying

Ok but when you say...

What do you mean? Do you mean just ensure they are scanned on all tuners or is there something I need to do manually?

Thanks

I've done the scan.

Scanned with Belmont transmitter which is what my areal is directed towards. (was told so by the company who fitted the areal)
And, it will scan the channels but there are no HD channels at all.

On my TV which uses the same areal.. the HD channels scan in just fine.

I've tried scanning in other local transmitters.
No luck.

The TV card I have is a Quad card... this one...

Can anyone please suggest anything?

thanks

You will need a DVB-T2 card for HD channels. It looks as though your card is just a DVB-T.

I have this as one of my tuners and it is pretty good:
