[QUOTE="Kyle S., post: 1041408, member: 135189"] Wow, that did the trick. I certainly appreciate your attention, even from all the way around the world. Not sure what a tuning adapter is. For paid cable subscriptions here, we have a "cable tuner box" which decrypts the scrambled channels. In my case, I am coming right from the wall, right into the the tuner card to capture the unscrambled signals. The cable companies in the US are required to broadcast the local over the air stations on the cable system in an un-encrypted format (Clear QAM) Just so I understand... The card locks on to a specific frequency for tuning finds a signal, and grabs the station name and other tuning in formation from the stream. You are saying that the tuning info pushed from the cable company is incorrect? I am curious why MP trusts the pushed info instead of what the card is actually tuning to? (which led me to this point?) Because a built in "dumb" tuner in the tv is able to handle this situation without problem. And for my own education, where specifically in the logs did you find the channels that were bad? And how did you determine the correct tuning frequencies? This whole digital broadcasting is a whole lot more difficult for me to understand than the old analog system (physical channels, sub-channels, virtual channels ..etc..) Again, thanks for the help.
