[ubuntu-us-mi] ubuntu-us-mi Digest, Vol 31, Issue 11

Yes,  Comcast changed their channels 29 - 72~ to digital and you have to
use their box to get those channels.  Channels 2 - 18~ is still analogue
TV / tuner card should be able to get those channels.

As for scanning for the channels can't you go to the Schedule Direct
website and customize your channels there.  Maybe this is where the
channel conflict is coming from.  You are scanning for them and Schedule
direct is giving the same channels.

I thought I read somewhere that soon comcast will stop broadcasting most
of their channels in clear qam. Only the basic limited package will be
broadcast. Anyone else know more info about this?

        Thanks for getting back. I dont know if you want me to respond
        here on
        the list with what I have  or email you directly.

        Here is a rundown of the issues that I am having.

        1. Channel scanning on qam64 qam256 seems to work but it drops
        audio
        channels over the video channels. ( channel mapping) I can get
        the
        qam256 channels ok (as these are mostly the locals) (qam64 is
        another
        story)

        2. Since I am having issues with the qams would it be better to
        try to
        create a channels.conf file? (not sure how I would do this) Lots
        of
        people creating them but I haven't found much on how to do it or
        what
        the format would look like.

        3. I have tried to use w_scan but the response that I got back
        from
        the original dev that wrote it he states that qam64 isnt
        supported
        yet.

        4. It seems that everytime I do a scan the program seems to
        report
        that there are conflicting channels and I have to add them
        manually or
        use the suggested channel number, (which I think is a complete
        pile of
        poo-poo)

        Current version of Mythbuntu is 9.10 running mythtv .23 latest
        version
        of weekly build of trunk
        Using Schedules Direct

        As a side note the channel scanning didn't work very well in .22
        either for me thats why I upgraded to .23

        Other item is that I am not using Comcast or Charter. I am using
        TVC,
        Small outfit right here in Lennon.

        Is there a blindscan tool that I could use that might help with
        this
        that anyone knows of?

        Let me know if these questions are a little to much for the list
        and
        we can email directly.

        Thanks!

        Rob Larson
