![]() ![]() You should not always expect TV Server to find all the channels straightaway. I know it takes time (about 20 minutes per full scan), but cancelling early is not advisable. In other words, start with "QAM standard", then try the other options as directed if channels are not found. For QAM tuning frequencies, I can't say it any better than the wiki says it: firewall not blocking them from "seeing" the HDHR).įor scanning cable with the HDHR3-US you should be selecting tuning mode "clear QAM cable". So, you're using an HDHR3-US, right? Not the CableCARD HDHR?Įither way, please take a look here for a bit of information about scanning:įor scanning with any HDHR, first ensure TVService.exe and SetupTv.exe have full access to your network (ie. If there is anybody out there who could please give me a hand getting this thing to work I would really appreciate it!! Was i on the right track with any of my troubleshooting attempts? Many people report that the HdHomeRun "just works" for them in Mediaportal, but obviously I'm having some serious trouble even after completely re-installing a new OS. I've restarted the HdHomerun device itself, i've rebooted my HTPC box a million times.(Unfortunately, a side effect of this is that it only detects one of the HdHomerun tuners now and not both like it used to?) Manually clicked "remove" under the MP TvServer config, uninstalled the HdHomerun utility & re-installed, re-scanned, and re-detected the device in MP TVServer config.I presume this is more Windows Media Center use but thought I'd give it a shot. I added it and Win7 detected & installed it under Device Manager. I was stumbling around the Bluetooth area on my HTPC while setting up a keybaord and noticed that the HdHomerun was discovered during a Bluetooth scan as a uPNP device.I edited the file to match the XML format of one of the other default files and finally got MediaPortal to accept the file & start scanning, but.wait for it.still no signal I copied the file as-is under "C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\TuningParameters\atsc" & restarted the TVServer service and, although it showed up in the drop-down as an available option, it gave an error when attempting to scan. I did find a "Digital Cable.Xml" file under "C:\ProgramData\SiliconDust\HdHomerun" that is apparently created by the HDHomeRun utilities' scans. I found some other articles that mentioned trying different frequencies and tuning files, which I have no experience with.I played around with enabling/disabling the "Dynamic Tuner Allocation" setting on the advanced tab with no change. I also confirmed that the utility has mediaportal selected as the "Main Application". I confirmed that in the HDHomeRun utility that the channels it found are set to "enabled".I have tried all different settings in the TVServer (QAM setting unchecked, QAM checked and all built-in variations of QAM offered) and no channels are found. The HDHomeRun utility is set to "Digital Cable" and I can get 20-30 channels. I pay only for Comcast internet but as a "side-effect" i can get basic digital channels. I'm not too versed on QAM verses ATSC, so perhaps I could use some help determining what Comcast basic cable offers.Started by allowing the TVService service full access in the Win7 firewall, and ended up turning the Firewall off altogether. Well, for Christmas I got a SSD hard drive, so it was a perfect opportunity to install and start completely fresh with Windows 7 Ultimate + Mediaportal 1.3. Some have suggested doing a fresh install.Here's a quick rundown of what i've already tried: Media Portal 1.3 beta (the previous hard drive with 1.2 had the same no-signal issues as well, so i don't think it's anything with the latest version).(Prior to the SSD i had a 72gb SATA drive with XP 32-bit and had the same no-signal issues) HTPC is a Dell Optiplex 745 with 2GB of RAM, 50GB SSD hard drive, running Win7 Ultimate 64-bit.Pingable fine, web interface fine, and like I said the HdHomeRun utlity sees it and can scan & view channels fine. Coax from Comcast (Atlanta, GA area) plugged in & ethernet plugged into my router. ![]()
