Re: [mythtv-users] Sweet! PC HD3000 QAM_256 working, now about importing those channels?
Awesome I'm glad you got it working. I threw this together off the top of my head while at work today... I just went through this last week and it was pretty difficult to gather all of the info to make it work. Along with a lot of trail and error. Another Tip. It may or may not apply. There is a nifty shortcut to quckly gather all of you QAM freq if you have an HD STB. I have a Scientific-Atlanta 3250HD. The SA box is all I can speak to but I'm sure other STBs will have something similar. If you can get into the status menu of you STB you can tune one of you HD channels and it will display the QAM freq. Its kind of nice when trying to find which channel is on what freq. For example channel 708 is my local HDCBS channel via my STB. I tune the STB to 708, then hold the + button on the STB until the mail led flashes the hit the info button on the STB. Wala! the status menu. Check www.avsforum.com for details on how to get the status menus on your specific model. This has saved me a bunch of time on finding channels. Now all I have to do is use the STB to find the freq. Then do the dvb scan to find the serviceid. Saves a lot of trial and error. __ Yahoo!

Re: [mythtv-users] Sweet! PC HD3000 QAM_256 working, now about importing those channels?
One other thing I forgot to mention is cleaning up the bum channels from the scan. The easiest way is via MythWeb. In MythWeb click settings-->channels. Then find the channels you could not tune or dont want and put a check the the delete box. Then click "save" at the bottom. You should be good to go. __ Yahoo! for Good Donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. http://store.yahoo.com/redcross-donate3/ ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I'll try to explain how using you channels.conf as an example. The database tables that need to be modified are channel and dtv_multiplex. dtv_multiplex should be populated by the channel scan and the channel table you will need to modify yourself. Below is an example of how you would setup your NBC (assuming ch#707)channel in Myth. 1.) go to zap2it and build your listing for your local HD broadcast channels. 2.) assign that listing to your dvb 3k in mythtvsetup 3.) go into the channel editor (still in mythtvsetup) select your new listing and do a scan (select type "cable") The scan will take some time. Mostly likely you won't really get anything useful, but what this will do it populate the dtv_multiplex table in your db. You will need this later on. 4.) exit mythtvsetup and run mythfilldatabase. This will now provide you with your xmltvids to callsign mappings. At this point you still will not be able to tune anything yet so don't try. 5.) ***Important*** stop mythbackend. 6.) edit your channels.conf and remove your PSIP values. You don't need them for Myth. So your file will look like this. NBC:56100:QAM_256:0:0 ABC:56100:QAM_256:0:0 CBS:56700:QAM_256:0:0 FOX:56700:QAM_256:0:0 7.) go ahead and fire up azap and tune a channel. $ azap -r NBC 8.) in a second terminial run dvbscan -c $ dvbscan -c What you need is the serviceid. This is the number in the [000#] at the far left. Your provider will most likely be using the same frequency for multiple channels. So you may have more then one service per freq. In this example your serviceid for NBC would be 2. Example: dumping lists (1 services) [0002] (0x0002) 00: PCR == V V 0x0010 A 0x0011 (eng) Now stop your dvbscan and azap tune. 9.) log into your database. $mysql -u root -p mythconverg To tune the 3k you will need to find the mplexid for you known frequency. 10.) finding the mplexid mysql> select mplexid from dtv_multiplex where frequency = '56100'; +-+ | mplexid | +-+ | 25 | +-+ 1 row in set (0.01 sec) Write down the mplexid value. For example sake we will say it was 25. 11.) Now you are ready to setup the channel. You have the freqency (56100),mplexid(25),and the serviceid(2). Assuming that
