Adding missing channels - Where to find the frequency?

Trotter · 2009-12-10 20:39:54

Hi all, I've managed to get my PC set up to watch TV using the TV card and Windows Media Centre for Windows 7. Some of the channels when I scan the cable option are missing, and its inviting me to add the frequency of the missing ones, in the form XXX.XXX mhz Where can I find that information? I'm with UPC in Waterford.…

Maybe a bit out of date, but you will find most of them here

Thanks for that..

No joy.. I put 56 Mhz in for RTE 1 and its showing up as a blank.

I found another site that said RTE 1 was 504Mhz but Media Centre won't accept that.

For some reason Media Centre wont accept 504MHz though. Its giving me a message saying it cant accept that information and to recheck it. Is there an upper frequency limit on Media Centre I wonder?

Very odd seen as if I scan it using the antenna function (thereby losing access to the full guide,) it finds RTE1 itself.

I hate computers.

Hi Trotter - Did you get anywhere with this one?

Hauppauge MCE 500 dual tuner
Windows 7

I am in the same boat as you.
1. Manually Scan - Dublin unmapped analogue
I get all the channels I want but I have to manually add listing to the channels this is fine, but then there are no listings for 3e and living.

2. NTL Dublin analogue
I get all channels and listing except for Channel 4 and Discovery.
When I go to add in either of the channels I just get an exception error.

Channel 4 543 MHz
The Discovery Channel 575 MHz

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
