DVBV doesn't find channels

[amateuri]

Hi!

I am using PCTV 292e tuner and tried few days to scan cable channels without any kind of success.

The signal strenght is below the half.

I am using Windows 7 64bit, I live in Finland, Turku and cable type is ClearQAM.

TVCenter 6 finds all channels, but neither Windows Media Center or DVBViewer doesn't.

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Open the configuration folder and close the DVBViewer.

 

Then replace the existing hardware.xml with this one hardware.xml

 

And then start the DVBViewer and try a chennel scan.

was it possible to do a scan after updating the hardware.xml file?

Hi

 

I have a similar problem. My signal-provider (Stofa Aalborg) changed the channel Pattern yesterday. Most of the channels are still working (they were probably not moved), but 7 including 3 very important, are missing. When I try a new channel scan, it says "No Hardware Available (in danish), and in the down-left corner of the dialog-box, it says (in danish: Aktuel enhed) I think: Current unit, but there is no unit mentioned. In "Options" under "Hardware" it list both my HDHomeRun tuners and my Cinergy card.

I have attached a support.zip-file

Hope you can help me

Hi!

 

I just found something interresting. In DVBViewer, at the channel search - type in the symbole rate as x1000 (I have 6875 and I typed 6875000) and suddenly all channels where there. It is working perfect - both HD and not HD channels :-)

Just got new Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD TV Tuner and problem was that DVBViewer did not find any channels on cable-tv (I live in Finland, and network is ttv, www.ttv.fi). After some googling found out that adding this line to hardware.xml could help "<entry name="SRx1000">1</entry>". And yes, it worked DVBViewer now works just fine with my new tuner and finds all the channels.

Can you please attach your hardware.xml? I would like to see the device ID in order to check if we can provide a general solution for this problem in future.

Here you go.

Changing the hardware.xml in the configuration folder worked for me. Thank you Tjod.
