Ah, ok. Sorry, I just misunderstood. >> Try an actual TV and see if it can receive the channel. > > That is my next step. Either that or live without the channels. This would indeed be an interesting data point (if your TV can receive the channel but the HVR-1600 cannot). >> Try the HVR-1600 under Windows, if possible.

Generally speaking, my goal is for the Linux driver to work "as well as WIndows". I do this because I know the Hauppauge developers who work full-time on the Windows drivers put a hell of a lot more time into tuning/optimization of both the hardware and software, so I basically take for granted that if it doesn't work under Windows, it's not going to work at all. There are always exceptions to the rule, of course. One thing that might also be interesting to try: hack a channels.conf file so that it has the frequencies in question, and run azap against the frequency. Then see if it shows a lock. This might be some weird case where you are getting a signal lock but the video/audio PIDs are not being setup properly, or some weird edge-case where scan is failing when it shouldn't. You can paste the output of azap in an email if you want me to take a look. Cheers, Devin -- Devin J.
