Q5 PVR scanning new channels

[jatrophaseed]

Q5 no need computer to edit new channels.

Menu>>search channel>NIT scan>OK> freq=346000, sym = 6875, Qam =256 then press 'GREEN' button and wait till 100%.

Press OK to store then exit. All new channels will b in as per LCN.

bro, may i ask why when you use 346000mhz it is still able to scan the other freq to make the whole list? I understand some channels are on different freq like 156000 , 674000 etc....also what is NIT and what is QAM and Sym rate? Perhaps you can briefly explain for our knowledge and interest.

[jatrophaseed]

1 selection of 346 is arbitrary, any freq in the Cable spectrum will do the same job. Box detect ( tecnic term = freq comb ) all active transponder.
2 NIT = Network Informayion Table (Transponder freq table)
3 QAM = Quadrature Amplitude Modulation. (encryption = Amppli + phase + freq + I 4got)
4 sym = symbol rate (rate of change of qam.

Pls note this is effective bcos Sg hv only 1, that Big Green, Cable Provider, other country may find this method hair-pulling experience bcos it scan all Providers with many unrelated chn stored occupying too many precious memory space.

You also can use Manual scan to search new channels, but you need to input Freq by yourself. it only take a short time.

Anyway to get the news sports channel listing....? Only way is via software upgrade....?

i can receive the channels but the channel names all wrong

[jatrophaseed]

Q5 wont give wrong names, u r not using Q5
It will give No Name but not Wrong name.

Another scenerio, you hv not do a full NIT scan. refer back to earlier post for tut.

Hi, I believe the new N3 signal has kicked in. Most of the channels are not visible. Is there any software update for Q5 PVR to view N3 signal ?
