Post subject:  [SOLVED] Tuning in Australian stations on a PVR-350

Basicly, I am having no success adding a newly bought PVR-350 to my knoppmyth box.

See this thread for details
http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=13469

But the point is the tuner isn't working. If I use an external tuner and send that signal to the card through RCA cables, it works ok. It just cant pick up any stations when a co-ax is run to it from the antenna.


Any hints from the Aussies in here ?

Have you tryed to add them by hand , using the feq's for your area ?

The thought crossed my mind. I have gone on a search for a freq table, but no luck. Might have to visit each channels site individually.

I think I will try that now.

I just gave tv_grab_au a try. But the channels it sets up didnt translate to MythTV setup GUI. :?

Have a look at http://www.dba.org.au/index.asp?sectionID=22 and find your local transmiter.

for example if the middle Feq is 690.5 MHz you would enter 69 as the Feq

Thats for digital though right ?

I am going stright from the co-ax wall socket, that comes from the External antenna, to the Co-ax in on the PVR-350.

So I need analogue.

Thats mate, thats perfect.
Although we have a Wollongong antenna, I can't seem to see southern highlands or Wollongong freq for WIN, PRIME etc.

I'll keep searching.

I set up Win and SBS for both Wollongong (Knights Hill) Analog and Wollongong (Brokers Nose) Analog but with no success. I just get snow.

I am not sure what the problem can be. Is there anyway to manually sure in stations while displaying the picture con-currently, like with a TV ?

I am going to have to tripple check the signal and that they in fact sold me a PAL PVR-350, like I ordered.

I've only ever used Digital (divco card) ,

Post subject: 

Double checked the tuner on the card. Definitely labeled PAL.

I know the co-ax I am using comes st right from the wall socket and is used regularly to watch free-to-air on the big TV.

I don't what else to try ...

HELP someone !! :cry:
