[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1149137, member: 82144"] Okay. COX is nasty. My understanding is that they flag most/all channels as "copy once" (meaning: protected => can't view or record them in MP). This does vary a bit from market to market, so there's a chance some channels will be usable in MP... but unfortunately it's a slim chance. :( Unlike MP, WMC supports DRM. That means you should be able to view all/most of your channels [in WMC] if your CableCARD is authorised/paired/whatever properly. The fact that your channels are [I]not[/I] working in WMC strongly suggests that your CableCARD is a dud or not authorised properly. You're in a bit of a pickle with W10 because you don't have WMC, and therefore you can't cross-check whether channels are working. If I were you my next steps would involve one or more of: [LIST] [*]installing a temporary version of W7 for testing with WMC [*]installing the Silicondust software package so you can test with HDHR View (or whatever they call it - I forget) [*]calling your cable provider's CableCARD hot-line and asking them for help [*]contacting Silicondust and asking them for help [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
