I am trying to set up media center with basic QAM digital cable on a new computer with Windows 10.  I have HDHomerun dual tuners on my network.  (I have a setup that works on a Windows 7 computer.)  My understanding is I should do a Standard scan, as opposed to HRC+3, HRC, or IRC.  When I do this, media center freezes and I must terminate the program from task manager.  I have done a successful scan using another option (I think it was HRC), but the scan misses one important channel (channel 5.1 for future reference), even when I do a slow scan. 

Incidentally, the Hdhomerun setup also has a problem with channel 5.1.  In the HDHOMERUN setup table, the "Tune" column shows  CH72-1006, the "guide number" column shows 5030, and the "guide name" column shows unknown.  On my Windows 7 machine, the same table shows entries CH72-1006, 5.1, and WTTG HD, respectively.  Using the HDHOMERUN setup program, I can view the channel on my Windows 10 machine. 

I've considered playing with my Windows 7 setup to understand the problem, but am afraid I will just mess it up.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.  You could try a search for that channel to see what others may have found.  Sometimes the frequency isn't what it is supposed to be.  It can be changed manually in MC if that is the case.

If there is only one channel that you can not find in channel scan, it might be easier just to add the channel manually, provided you can figure out all the parameters for the channel.

I recently made an attempt to fix another hang during channel scan issue.  It was for ATSC channel scan, so it may or may not be the same issue.  The change is not yet released to the public at the moment.  When next release is posted on MC22 board, please give it a try.

Thanks for the quick responses.  Is there a file on my windows 7 machine that has all the setup information that I could simply copy to my windows 10 machine?

I don't think so, but if you edit the channel you can probably get the data you need.

In all my tries to get a new channel scan that might include the missing channel, I have erased the results of the one successful scan I did and am unable to do a new scan no matter what option I choose (standard, standard alternative, etc).  In all cases, media center freezes.  I have powered down all other computers on my network, powered down Hdhomerun and then powered it up, and turned off the windows firewall completely.  No luck.  This is so frustrating, as my setup is so vanilla.  It is a new computer with a fresh windows 10 install and no other software except hdhomerun and chrome.  What could go wrong?

No, using 22.0.32. I downloaded it on 12/16, 3 days ago.  Just checked and it is the version now on the jriver download page.

How wold I get 22.0.49?

I note that version 22.0.32 set up fine on my windows 7 machine.

Thanks for your responses.  This is not a hurry for me, as I am leaving town soon. I will put this project aside and tackle it again in the new year.  If I continue to have problems, I will post again to this thread.
