    Add sub-channels

    I have Vista Ultimate and a Hauppage WinTV NTSC/ATSC card (1600 I think).
    WinTV bundled with the card will tune the sub-channels 3.2, 12.4, etc.
    Windows Media Center will only tune the "major" channel 3.1, 12.1, etc. Is
    there a fix or workaround for this? Thank you.

    RE: Add sub-channels

    Hey, I used a Hauppage HD ATSC USB 980 tuner on a MacMini system w/ EyeTV &
    it was able to obtain the 'sub-channels' that you discribe. I reused the same
    tuner on a Vista Ultimate system & I can't get the sub-channels either. I
    hope that someone from MS can look into this & get a reply back. On the same
    note: EyeTV can display the Video Stream of a program it's recording or one
    that it had recorded & your playing back [such as 1920 x 1080 @ 60 FPS or 720
    x 480 @ 29 FPS, etc} & that is really helpful to determine the content
    features & limitations when you play it back on a HD screen!

    I would like to stay w/ Vista, but sometimes the Mac features are tempting
    me back; especially w/ the new MacMini's that have a little more horsepower
    are now available... come on MS - we need you to stay-in-the-game & be
    competative for what we consumers want.

    Remember i'ts SUB-CHANNELS & VIDEO STREAM INFO... that's my list of
    catch-up-to-Mac things that I would like to see in VISTA.

    Thanks for any & all HELP!

    Re: Add sub-channels

    Go to:

    Tasks > Settings > TV > Guide > Add Missing Channels > Add DTV Channel and type in for example:

    I have channel 9-1 as the base PBS HD signal channel 9-2 is PBS Kids, 9-3 is PBS Standard Def., 9-4 is PBS DIY so I type in 9 and 9-2 comes up, Hit Next and re-name it if you like.

    Do you all know how to import guide listings from another source, I can't get guide listings for the sub channels.
