[QUOTE="mizzourob, post: 273022, member: 70186"] I've got the exact same problem as you do... I've used GB-PVR to scan my cable and then noting the channels it found that MediaPortal didn't, I was hoping to use the listing of QAM frequenices found [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_cable_television_frequencies"]here[/URL] which triggered this problem. So then I tried to create a copy of an existing working channel using the add channel option in the TV server setup. I copied line for line each of the details in the ATSC tab into a new channel and if too failed, leading me to believe there's a bug here somewhere that's been missed so far...? So with this problem I dumped my working lineup to the xml export, then cleared the lineup, then re imported it and it worked which showed me that it seemingly would be possible to try to add these channels by tinkering with the XML file, so then I opened up the xml file in notepad and I see that there are a bunch of other fields in the XML that don't match the add channel tab which left me confused...Perhaps one of the developers can chime in about this?? Of course all this could be resolved if MediaPortal could reliably find all the clear QAM channels in the first place, somehow gb-pvr does, and so too does sage tv but I digress... -Rob [/QUOTE]
