HDHR help please!

[chrishallowell]

Ok, I went through the steps and I'm getting stuck where SageTV scans the channels. It's only suppose to take <1 minute, but it has tested 70 channels and hasn't found 1 channel yet so I don't think it's working.

I scanned the channels using HDHomeRun's software and it found a lot of QAM channels and they worked using VLC.

Then I went into SageTV and selected:
Source: Silicondust HDHomeRun Turner 1015C05D-0
Input: Digital TV Tuner
Use Tuner on Capture Card to tune Cable TV
Use US, Canada, or XMLTV Guide Data with this Source
Type of Program Guide data provider: Cable or Satellite
Select cable provider: Time Warner Cable - Cleveland Heights
Level of service: Basic Service
Then I select: Yes - Scan for all channels now

HDHR Firmware: 20081231
SageTV V6.5.9

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Chris

Are you following these directions:
HDHR setup for Windows

If not, follow the instructions exactly as written there.

Are you using Vista? If so, then perhaps the .scn file from the HDHR software is in the VirtualStore instead of the SageTV direcotry where sagetv.exe is located, or vice versa. In this case, find the .scn file & copy it to where SageTV is creating the .frq file, delete the .frq file, then try scanning in SageTV again.

Yes, those are the instructions I'm using.
I'm running XP SP3.
I'll triple check that I'm following the directions but I'm not sure what to select for:
Select cable provider:
Time Warner Cable - Cleveland Heights
OR
Time Warner Cable Digital - Cleveland Heights

Level of service:
Basic Service
OR
Extended service


Edit: Ok, this is embarassing. I missed the first step. It worked fine after I did step 1 (Run SageTV)

Hehehe. It always makes me laugh how its the skipped steps that bite me in the butt. I couldn't get QAM tuning working for my HDHomerun for hours until I realized I was skipping the step where I had to enter in my cable provider's number (I kept changing the names to match up correctly but was skipping the part where I neeed to enter in 8XX as the channel number).....
