tuning channels

[joshyg2]

Im sorry if someone has already posted about this, but I searched quite a bit and couldn't find anything.

This is my problem:

I capture my video using AVI_IO or Virtual Dub, but they both use the same way of tuning channels. (also tryed Virtual VCR)

To tune my channels I have to go to source > then select Video Tuner, then click the TV Tuner command button, when I do this a Properties window pops up, and I tune my channels from there. But there are a few channels on certain frequencys, (eg. 110250000) that I cant get tuned in.

For example, I click cable, then go to 35, it tunes to 109250000 then I go to 36, it tunes to 112250000. But I cant get 110250000

My Question:
Is there a program, eg. like Dscalers tuning, where I can specify the exact frequency to tune. Whether it be a program for capturing or for overiding VFW capturing.

I just need to be able to specify the exact frequency I want, for my channels.

P.S I tryed the Auto Tune function it does nothing.

I am using:
Hauppauge WinTV - btwincap drivers
MS Windows XP SP1

I believe the frequencies are stored in the registry the same way for all directshow apps and can be edited there. More info about the background here (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/directx9_c/directx/htm/analogtelevisiontuning.asp)

a webpage with a calculator can be found here (http://www.snapstream.com/Community/articles/customorder/)

There should be a utility floating around to do this, but I don't know where I saw that. (I never tried this myself, so good luck :D )

Why don't you try iuvcr(last version) from www.iulab.com .You can change there any frequency you like (you can tune automatic then change manual).

Arachnotron I cant thank you enough.

After a while, I eventually figured out how to do it, reading the links you gave me. And everything is in perfect channel order now.

If someone has heard of a program that automates this proccess and alters the registry properly please post it, so others wont have to do it the long way.

thanks again
