[QUOTE="robbo100, post: 816193, member: 91446"] If you have connected your set top box to your tuner card using an SVideo connector, your will never get a signal (because the antenna is not connected to the tuner). The scanning function is for scanning for channels where the cable coax is connected directly to your tuner card and no set top box is connected in the system (that will never work). If (as you say) you want to connect the set top box using SVideo (and use an IR blaster to change channel), you will need to connect it as an analogue channel (which will require an analogue encoder to be installed - have a look at the wiki for details). It isn't a particularly neat way of doing things and the video and audio quality will be much reduced. I presume that your Videotron box has some channel decryption which is why only some of the channels show in the list (does it have a subscription card with it?
