This device, according to the manufacturer site, is a QUAD Mode tuner (DVB-S2, DVB-S, DVB-T, analog). In MC, three devices appear. I am guessing the following:
"Hauppauge WinTV 885 BDA Tuner/Demod" is for DVB-T
"Hauppauge WinTV 885 Alt BDA Tuner/Demod" is for DVB-S/S2
"Hauppauge WinTV 885 Video Capture" is for analog.
Your log shows that you were trying to play a satellite channel using the first one, which failed with an error "invalid argument" because you were trying to pass a satellite channel's tuning parameters to a DVB-T tuner device.
If my theory is correct, you can do the following to correct the problem:
In Standard TV view, click "TV Options..." and choose "Settings...". In the resulting dialog window, under "Devices" choose "Hauppauge WinTV 885 BDA Tuner/Demod" and click "Configure..." button. On "Tuner Type" tab, select "DVB-T", and click OK. Repeat this for "Hauppauge Wintv 885 Alt BDA Tuner/Demod" but set it to DVB-S.
Now when you play a DVB-S channel, MC will pick the right device.
When you scan, you must make sure you pick the right device for scanning. MC will remember your pick and use it accordingly. I guess that you initially picked the wrong device for scanning and had trouble getting any channels. Later you picked the right device for DVB-S scanning, but left the DVB-T one in wrong state.
Thank for this suggestion, I did find channels. Now i understand your SW logic.
if i may make first a suggestion
In dividing the channels as you mention, one need to scan twice to scan both DVB-t and DVB-s channel. However I started to scan first the DVB-t channels on
"Hauppauge WinTV 885 BDA Tuner/Demod" and click "Configure..." button. On "Tuner Type" tab, select "DVB-T" and found no channels Fine. then I scanned DVB-s on the "Alt" and it found channels The I rescanned DVB-t again and again it found no channel. However I cancelled all channels found in DVB-s. ,,,, This should not happen,,,,. Now i am rescanning DVB-s and it is finding the channels again.
As you may expect some channels are duplicated. Now to correct these i would go to TV options and select edit channels.
This is fine However when selecting channel to delete, by inserting a checkmark next to it and hit delete. the solution will only delete the highlighted channel. I would suggest to first choose the Channel(s) and the delete. The delete button would then delete all check channels.
Furthermore Now that I have all the DVB s channels loaded, when I try to watch them and I get the Error Message
"something went wrong with Playback
Details
Digital TRSendeerStreamToWriter - Fail to build upstream graph
No combination of immediate filters could be found to make connection"
This occurs after the screen goes black with the same message.
