It is very tempting to use the 'preview' button in the 'TV Channels' section of TV Server configuration. Repeat 1.3 for your other CableCard tuners.Click '>' to link the channels to the tuner.

Select the first channel on the left, then press + to select all channels.This is done in the 'TV Mapping' sub-section under 'TV Channels': In order to ensure that TV Server knows it can use all of your tuners, you'll need to link your channels to each tuner. You can group channels in the 'TV Channels' section of TV Server configuration, as described in our wiki. some channels are named like 'Unknown.') then you should delete all channels and rescan with a higher SDT/VCT timeout setting. If some channels or names are missing (ie. Ensure TV Server has full access to your network.Ĭhannels should be assigned their correct names and virtual channel numbers automatically. This is almost always due to firewall configurate. If TV Server does not find any new or updated channels that means it is having problems getting information from the CableCARD. Once the scan completes you should see a message telling you the number of new and updated channels that TV Server found. TV Server is gathering channel information from the CableCARD in the background, and just needs some time to pull it all in. For the few minutes it will appear like nothing is happening.

You should see a message: out-of-band service information.

Select 'digital cable' as the tuning mode.

There is also a new patch available -> here here here section in the left hand pane of TV Server configuration. Please feel free to update the wiki via the usual process (create an account, submit your changes) if you think it lacks detail or misses anything you think is important. I figure there's no harm having the information in more than one place as it might make it easier to find. I note that all of the relevant info below should also have been copied into the wiki. Today I've checked it for correctness to ensure anybody that finds there way here in future does not get confused. CableCARD support has been officially included in MediaPortal for 3 'final' releases now! As a result, the original patch posted here is considered obsolete and has been removed.Īlthough the patch itself is obsolete, the information in this post is not.
