When the scan comes up with a blank it is saying that something is there but it doesn't know what as it's not broadcasting its ID, what I'm asking is the ability to manually identify the channel rather than to just hide it. I'm scanning with 0.2 now, I'll see what it does.

It works for me as I have searched and found these rogue channels, for the normal user the problem is they will never know they exist. Showing that something is there and letting the user investigate rather than just hiding it is the way to go. Anyways thank you for all your time and effort. As for selecting the right listings in mc2xml there are 2 choices offered Comcast Cable (CAB) or Comcast Cable (DIGITAL) (CAB) the first just pulls down a subset of the second, the channel numbers do not change between the two. Interestingly the first does not contain all the channels that can be viewed over the raw cable without a box. Thanks again for your effort and if you're in the US have a safe and happy holiday.

Gotcha and that makes sense. I guess I don't see what criteria could be used to keep from hiding away the channels you're interested in. Can you identify what in the hdhr scan output files could be used?

Just noticed that if a matching guide listing isn't found for an ID'd channel then it is also ignored, if no matching listing is found then there should be the option to manually link the channel or create a .strm without linking it to a guide channel.

Ah I see what you mean now. My scan results are different on Fios actually. I can watch the encrypted channels because I use a cable card. So I didnt have any filtering of channels based on that being present or not. I can capture it's presence as a boolean then allow the user to select or not select based on it being true or false.
I'll try something out and get a new version up for you to try out. Give me a bit.
As reference, here is what a scan from Fios looks like on a Prime.
SCANNING: 135000000 (us-irc:16, us-cable:16)
LOCK: qam256 (ss=88 snq=100 seq=100)
TSID: 0x2811
PROGRAM 660: 550 USA HD (encrypted)
PROGRAM 661: 685 Bravo H (encrypted)
SCANNING: 129000000 (us-irc:15, us-cable:15)
LOCK: qam256 (ss=88 snq=100 seq=100)
TSID: 0x27F8
PROGRAM 329: 1685 Cine La (encrypted)
PROGRAM 499: 1682 Viendo (encrypted)
PROGRAM 521: 85 BTN (encrypted)
PROGRAM 522: 1009 Fox Soc
PROGRAM 523: 281 Sino TV (encrypted)
PROGRAM 524: 1756 GMA Pin (encrypted)
PROGRAM 539: 1768 TV Glob (encrypted)
PROGRAM 588: 96 SportsN (encrypted)
PROGRAM 593: 330 BTN 1 (encrypted)

all in one place works the best.. i kind of like the pvr support for xbmc.. its still raw but i hate switching out to wmc all the time.
the only pvr add-in that works is the ceton tv.. the slingbox function of it works perfectly.. but i get a lot of lag when i try to use it as PVR.. strms as PVR would be perfect

Ya that would be good. I've even thought about a backend for the PVR that integrates local content like PseudoTV as custom channels. That would be another way through the PVR addon to get the functionality similar to PseudoTV with live tv support through strm's too.
I have had trouble getting CetonTV to work with my HDHR. I posted about it this morning actually. If you have any ideas, please let me know! I would really like to get that working!

Sounds good Mike. I just got home from a week at the beach with the wife and kids so I was looking forward to some coding today to relax on the holiday before returning to work tomorrow, so thanks for the help!
Let me know how it works for you.
