I'm from the UK and am not far from the Crystal Palace transmitter. Is anyone using the new server with a nebula digitv (usb, master or slave)? I have my media centre pc connected up with 2 slave units. I can use the old TV engine and watch all my channels with no problems (my flatmate scanned the channels and exported to a list sometime before I got my usb units, he has a compro pci card). I can view every single channel no problem. When I try to scan though using the new tv engine (tested with the old engine and get the same result), I get loads of channels missing such as all the channel 5 supplied channels. Anyone know what could be up?

I have attached the log of the server when it trys to tune. It appears to see them but doesn't want to add them to the channel list. I want to use the new server, but if I can't even get all channels in then there's no point.

    Goto line 233 in the log provided (it's between two Tune: DVBT:tv's)
    There is a missing tune to frequency 562000 (This is the frequency of the missing mux)

    I used the channel listing for Crystal Palace transmitter from http://tx.mb21.co.uk/gallery/crystalpalace/index.asp

    Looks like there is a problem with dvbt.xml channels for crystal palace.
    Open your dvbt.xml and find the entry for 'UK - Crystal Palace'
    Then replace it with this

    <country name="UK - Crystal Palace" offset="167">
    <carrier frequency="482000" bandwidth="8" />
    <carrier frequency="506000" bandwidth="8" />
    <carrier frequency="530000" bandwidth="8" />
    <carrier frequency="538000" bandwidth="8" />
    <carrier frequency="562000" bandwidth="8" />
    <carrier frequency="578000" bandwidth="8" />
    </country>

    Then save and rescan.
    You should now find it's 1 quicker and 2 will find all your channels.
