HDHR setup in SageTV 7 on Windows 7

[jarredduq]

I'm having a bad time trying to get my HDHR to work with QAM. I'm moving, and will not be able to use an antenna. Beforehand, I'm testing my HDHR with Comcast, and I'm performing the channel scan with the HDHR software (Version 20100609beta1).

I can see the FRQ and SCN files in the SageTV program folder. I've also renamed the channels according to the Zap2it guide. I can preview the channels in the HDHR software just fine.

When I set it up in Sage v7.0.14, it finds the channels very quickly, and looks good, but when I try to preview any of the channels, they are all at 0% signal strength.

Some other notes:
*I'm running Windows 7 32-Bit
*Sage v7.0.14
*I have an antenna connected to tuner 0, and Comcast to tuner 1.
*I'll open a ticket with Sage as well

I've attached the FRQ and SCN files, if that helps.

* split & moved to the beta forum *

Are you running the latest beta firmware/software for your HDHR?

Yes.

I figured out the problem! In the FRQ file I discovered the the Modulation is set incorrectly as 0, and it should be set at 11. Once I did that it works great. Looks like the Silicondust software is not generating the SCN files correctly, as it is set incorrectly there as well, so Sage is just importing the information it receives. The ol' Garbage in Garbage out issue.

I just bought a 2nd HDHR and cannot get it to work in Sage. I went through the setup instructions in the SiliconDust site and the instructions here at the Sage site. Running Windows 7, Sage 7.0.15, and latest beta HDHR driver. The SCN file generate, the FRQ files generate, but all I get is a blank screen when I try to tune a channel in SageTV. MY first HDHR is working fine so I tried copying the SCN file contents from the original tuner to the new tuner SCN files and re-scanning to generate new FRQ files. Still no change. Not sure what to try next so I am open to ideas.
BTW, I did try changing the modulation to 11, but that had no impact either. Also should note that QuickTV tunes all channels properly.

EDIT - FOUND the problem. had something to do with me missing an obvious issue...
