Can FusionHDTV QAM channels be input to SageTV?

carlgar · #1 02-17-2007, 09:43 PM

I recently got a FusionHDTV tuner and I am able to view several QAM channels using the software that came with it. I am unable to figure out how to get SageTV to see them. The manual seems to imply that it can be done, it refers to a "FusionHDTV, transport Stream Capture-0.frq" file on page 160. I do have a "Bluebird, AvStream Video Capture-0.frq" file but not sure what to put in it or how to test. An example of the information I have from the FusionHDTV software is:
CH = D921
SERVICE = D921
ENCRYPT = (blank for the stations I try to mapand am able to view)
TYPE = 256Q
RF = 92
When I watch the channel I see a 921.1 displayed which I believe is the channel freqency.

Based upon the research I have done I suspect it currently cannot be done but would like to make sure before I give up. I saw that a special program was written for the HDHomerun Card. I have also looked at the EVO4TV solution but appears much too complicated since I can currently view the shows, just not using Sage. Anyone have been able to do this or have any suggestions?

have you worked with stealth on this issue? EVO4TV was a very easy setup for me. It is also the only solution to utilize your fusion card.

I would definitely give it another try, if you have not already.

I have not actually tried it yet. The main turn off for me was the use of a dedicated networked computer. I was going to try it but realized I do not currently have a CD to write to. While the current price of $45 may be reasonable, I think I would rather get the HDHomeRun (2 tuners) for $170.

Just in case Stealth sees they, the hardware requirements probably should show that you currently need to be able to create a bootable CD. The second instruction says "Burn the ISO image to a CD".

I am trying to accomplish the same thing... It doesnt make sense that the fusion software can tune the cards but sage can not. Especially since sage can tune the card for ota...

Do you know where the frq file for fusion is located?

Where you can manually edit the channels for sage to tune?
