[HELP!] Problem with HDHR and Scanning for Channels

[sdsean]

Ok I'm using beta 7.0.20.
I followed the HDHR setup instructions completely. In the HDHR setup I changed the values of any channels that I wanted enabled from being n.1 channels to just being n. If I hit preview, everything seems fine and working.

The *.scn files exist in my Program Files\SageTV folder.

When I go to add the source and scan for channels, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to do a "Full Scan" or an "Update Scan". Never the less I have tried both. In either case the scan seems to take forever and only finds 2 of the 10 channels that I have enabled, and I can't figure out why.

I'm using Windows 7 64Bit ultimate, and no UAC. I am also not using any guide data.

Below is the text that shows up in my *.scn and *.frq files respectively:

If you're using Winodws 64 bit then your Sage installation should be in the C:\Program Files (x86) directory and that should also be where the .scn files are. Your symptom of taking a long time to scan in Sage means it is not finding the .scn files.

No that's not it. . . in fact that's where they were sorry I wasn't more clear.

I think it has something to do with the fact that I didn't use a line up / guide data.

I removed all the .scn and .frq files, then did the HDHR setup again, and made sure that all the channel numbers matched what they are in zap2it. Then the 2nd time I used guide data inside sage, and it worked fine.

Strange. . .
