Unable to locate frequency for TV Tuner

Postby Space Cops » 06 Feb 2015 01:58

Hello
I have recently been trying to get a DVB-T tuner to work on VLC, but I cannot seem to find the correct frequency
I know that the tuner works with VLC because I had it work the other day, but I forgot to write down the frequency I used and now I cannot find it.

Here is the log

Code: Select all

qt4 warning: Input option: dvb-bandwidth=8 qt4 warning: Input option: dvb-caching=300 main debug: adding item `dvb-t://frequency=226500000' ( dvb-t://frequency=226500000 ) qt4 debug: Adding a new MRL to recent ones: dvb-t://frequency=226500000 main debug: rebuilding array of current - root Playlist main debug: rebuild done - 44 items, index 42 main debug: processing request item dvb-t://frequency=226500000 node null skip 0 main debug: resyncing on dvb-t://frequency=226500000 main debug: dvb-t://frequency=226500000 is at 43 main debug: starting new item main debug: creating new input thread main debug: Creating an input for 'dvb-t://frequency=226500000' main debug: thread started main debug: thread (input) created at priority 1 (../.././src/input/input.c:214) main debug: using timeshift granularity of 50 MiB main debug: using timeshift path 'C:\Users\AMIR~1.RAS\AppData\Local\Temp' main debug: `dvb-t://frequency=226500000' gives access `dvb-t' demux `' path `frequency=226500000' main debug: creating demux: access='dvb-t' demux='' path='frequency=226500000' main debug: looking for access_demux module: 0 candidates main debug: no access_demux module matched "dvb-t" main debug: TIMER module_need() : 1.000 ms - Total 1.000 ms / 1 intvls (Avg 1.000 ms) main debug: creating access 'dvb-t' path='frequency=226500000' main debug: looking for access module: 1 candidate qt4 debug: IM: Setting an input bda debug: CreateTuneRequest: Using Tuning Space: DVB-T bda debug: Build: Using Tuning Space ID 9 bda warning: Build: Cannot save Tuning Space: hr=0x80070005 (ignored) bda warning: FindFilter: No filter connected: hr=0x80004005 bda warning: Build: Cannot load tuner device and connect network provider: hr=0x80004005 bda warning: SubmitDVBTTuneRequest: Cannot Build the Graph: hr=0x80004005 bda warning: DVB_Open: Unsupported Network dvb-t main debug: no access module matching "dvb-t" could be loaded main debug: TIMER module_need() : 58.000 ms - Total 58.000 ms / 1 intvls (Avg 58.000 ms) main error: open of `dvb-t://frequency=226500000' failed: (null) main debug: thread ended main debug: dead input main debug: thread times: real 0m0.060012s, kernel 0m0.031200s, user 0m0.015600s main debug: changing item without a request (current 43/44) main debug: nothing to play qt4 debug: IM: Deleting the input main debug: TIMER input launching for 'dvb-t://frequency=226500000' : 77.000 ms - Total 77.000 ms / 1 intvls (Avg 77.000 ms)
I know the error is caused by an improper frequency
I am setting this up through VLC's GUI
The tuner card is the WinTV 855
My location is Albany New York (I am trying to find the frequencies in this area)

Any Help please?

DVB-T in the US? somehow, that does not seem right.
