[QUOTE="Tsaukpaetra, post: 980907, member: 137447"] It's not my code, but I do have a vested interest in getting it working. I think you're off the point though, as cablecard tuners DON'T TUNE QAM as MP tries to tell it to. MP As it is in the trunk doesn't really know anything about cablecard tuners, other than the fact that they appear as ATSC devices (which is why QAM tuning options are present, as that's how you're supposed to talk to normal tuners). With the new code, MP gets a little more intelligent insomuch as how it talks to the cablecard, but since it was a work in progress (and in reality, a completely new card type should be defined), the coders that were making these efforts decided to just modify/tweak the code that MP was already trying to use so that it wasn't a total rewrite of the command engine for the card.
