Hi all,

Background:
I have a machine in my basement with:
Hauppauge PVR-150 (connected to DCT2524) Air2PC ATSC/OTA card (connected to antenna in attic) Avermedia A180 (connected to comcast cable) Dvico FusionHDTV RT 5 Lite (connectec comcast cable) Debian using 2.6.24-x64 kernel

Situation:
Up until a week ago, I was able to use azap to tune in
a bunch of mplexids, and get good locks on both the A180 and the Dvico card. However, starting on Monday, I am not able to get locks on either of my DVB cards.
I have been able, and am still able to get good locks
on my air2pc OTA card.

Can anyone help me figure out why I can't seem to see anything from my 2 QAM cards? I've tried running a dvbscan and neither card can make a good lock.

Thanks.

What variables have changed in your test environment since last Monday?

If the answer is "nothing" , then the problem is more than likely due to your cable company moving services around.

First, you should confirm that you still have clear QAM available... assuming yes, then I recommend scanning for channels again.

BTW, this question is off-topic for this mailing list -- video4linux deals with analog video -- better luck on linux-dvb mailing list. (see www.linuxtv.org for mailing list subscription info)

HTH,

Mike
