Still having issues with QAm and hdhomerun

I still get no signal issues with QAM tuning. I can't get sage to see a signal on QAM at all.

I have 2 hdhomeruns one is OTA which sage uses just perfect the other is QAM. I have set it up with the hdhomrun software and entered the correct channel numbers from the zaptoit site as well as the correct channel names.

When I do a channel scan with sage all goes well it shows the 10 channels I have mapped in qam with the green dot next to them. When I try to tune to any of the channels I get a no signal message everytime, every channel.

If you've followed these instructions exactly & still have tuning issues, then contact SageTV about the problem:

HDHR setup for Windows

I had similar issues with my HDHR last month. The solution for me was to run the channel scan (in SageTV) for each tuner. I don't recall having to do that before it solved my problem.

Yes, each tuner has to run its own scan; that's why the instructions I linked above include that as bolded text.

(Well, the "tips" portion of the instructions mentions copying certain files to get around this requirement in some circumstances, but that is a more advanced config technique.)

Just to make sure, when you do the channel scan within Sage, does it move fast? As in does it scan all 200 channels in less than 30 seconds?

Also are you sure you are entering in the channel numbers as Zap2it states? What I mean, is tha 13-1 for me is actually 813 on Zap2it since that is the channel my cable company wants me to use (if I was using a set top box). I then remap it within Sage from 813 to 13-1.
