WMC not finding ClearQAM channels

#1

Post by chrisgnv » Thu Jan 21, 2016 5:20 am

I have an SD HDHR4-2US connected to a Clear QAM signal from Cox Cable in the Gainesville FL market. HDHR setup finds 17 channels, 6 of which are identified by the broadcast station letters. The other 11 are shown as "unknown". BDA compatibility is set as Windows Media Center. HDHR Config shows all of the channels as having high quality.

When I try to set up WMC and scan for channels, WMC finds only 2. If I try to add more channels it just repeats the same scan process with the same poor result.

How can I get WMC to recognize the channels that the HDHR4 clearly identified?

Can you find them in edit channels, they may be disabled.

I always added them manually. Or I did until TWC removed Clear QAM in Dallas...

Yup, same. Used QAM for most of the time I had WMC, it would only ever find 2-10 channels on the initial scan (out of about 80), I always had to manually add the rest.
