scanning channels above 69

Post by cabellew »

On a fresh install of .29 on Lubuntu using an hdhomerun. I'm attempting to scan cable channels but it won't scan beyond channel 69. I need it to scan HD channels 89+. In previous versions I seem to recall that I was able to specify that I need to scan high channels. I'm sure I'm missing something - where do I find that option?

It doesn't seem to change anything when I change the "Channel frequency table" in the "Video source". I absolutely have to be missing something. This just has to be possible. Anyone have any suggestions? Anyone have this working?
Thanks!

Something I forgot to mention is that I'm using Schedules Direct and the Listings Grabber is set and it is retrieving my lineups. I just have to be missing something here. Does anyone have this working? Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks so much for any help.

Hi,

You're not getting any hits on this. Suggest adding your tuner type. E.g., I have the
HDHR3-CC and used this: https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Silicondust_HDHomeRun_Prime
The Wiki says: "Fetch channels from listings source" (as opposed to scanning.)

The https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Silicondust_HDHomeRun page has a list of other
tuners.
