Title: Media Center sees the tuners, but channel scan comes up empty.
Post by: Rick2112 on August 24, 2012, 05:50:57 pm

I've tried every which way to make it work, but still no luck. The funny thing is, when scanning starts it tells me 64 channels found but nothing ever comes up in the list.

I'm using a silicon dust home run prime tuner.

Any suggestion is much appreciated.

Thanks

You need to make sure your firewall settings give MC access rights.

Also what type of channels are you trying to scan?  My understanding is HDHomerun Prime is for cable TV and requires a CableCARD.  Currently we do not support CableCARD.

Is there any plans in the future to include cable card capability, oh please tell me with 18 :)

All I can tell you is we would like to support it, but can't say when, and how much support.

The HDHomerun Prime does, indeed use a CableCARD. Thanks for the quick reply.

From a programming standpoint what makes interfacing to the HDHomeRun Prime different when it has a cable card installed?  Is it DRM ?
