I have an HDHomeRun tuner getting Clear QAM channels through basic cable. I am using Windows 7. The HDHomeRun drivers and Windows Media Center both correctly find all the channels. I can watch the channels using WMC. Nothing shows up when I do a channel scan in J River Media Center.

I found this post: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=57160.0
and this post: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=63520.0

So I disabled Windows Firewall entirely and ran Media Center as an Administrator. Same result. I do not receive any errors in the process - it simply finds zero channels.

There's got to be some way to make this work. What can I do? Thanks.

I'm not familiar with the HDHomerun or the way it interacts with your PC, but I had a similar problem with my PCIe tuner card. What you can't do very easily is swap from one application to another because the card gets 'locked in' (for want of a better phrase) to that application.

For example I had my card working perfectly well in MC16, but I installed MediaPortal to try and mess around with DVB-T2 and DVB-S&S2, and then channel scan on MC would do exactly the same - find no channels. I had to completely uninstall Mediaportal (not just disable the service) to get the channels to rescan in MC. I haven't tried 7MC, but it may also 'hog' the connection to the tuner.

QAM cable channels are not yet supported.

For now you can only use the device to watch over-the-air channels.

Thanks. I had planned to move to antenna anyway. I guess I'll just accelerate that process.
