EDIT: After doing a ton more research on this issue, I have finally come up with this. We are getting fuzzy channels because of the wrong frequency of the channels. When you do an auto tune using a fresh install of RC2, it takes every channel and add it to the TV database. Somewhere in-between RC2 and RC3, the database stopped recording the frequency into the database and goes off a master list. It just so happens that this list is wrong. I just installed RC3 and did an auto tune. I then wrote down all the frequencies from that. I then went back into each channel and added the frequencies. I then recorded like 8 shows (how I usually do and before I would receive fuzzy channels) and everyone came out ok.
So if you are having this issue, run the auto tune and write down the values and then manually add them to each channel.
IF any of the developers take a look at this... instead of having us pick a country and using preset values. Please let us choose Auto tune with will search for channels and add EXACT values it pulls from our cable or satellites.
------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been doing some testing on this with the very latest CVS 3-15-06 1-06. The reason we are getting fuzzy channels is because Cable:False. This means it somehow switched from cable to antenna in the auto tune. You will notice that channels 1-13 still work (antenna channels) but anything above 13 you will get a fuzzy channel. I am still doing some more testing and I thought it broke at one point in time but I still can't put my finger on it. Anyone who is getting fuzzy channels, please go back into your card setup and check to see that antenna is not selected.
In your mediaportal.xml... you should have this line:
<entry name="tuner">Cable</entry>
This goes for both cards. I tried to leave this open and do things within MP to see if I would get the message "Document has changed, would you like to reload" so I could figure out when it is changing that key. But so far, still no luck.
I am also wondering the correct way to setting up dual cards. Am I supposed to auto tune for both cards? I think what might be happening is we auto tune one card... and that brings in all the channels, but the second card is still set at antenna by default. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
I did auto tune on both cards this time, and then set up 6 shows to record back to back.. in the past I get one good show and the rest are fuzzy... I will let you guys know what comes of this.
After you guys check and change this value, please keep an eye out for when it happens... Send in your logs so we can get this straighten out before the 18TH!
