[QUOTE="WalkmanAA, post: 698699, member: 28642"] My test results were that all channels came up green even the ones that were scrambled. I don't quite understand what you mean by all channels logging on the same frequency. If I plugged my cable into a TV with a QAM tuner all the qam channels would get displayed like "4-1" for example which in my area is NBC HD. Where 4 is the atsc major and 1 is the minor. However for me (Time Warner Cable) 4-1 is actually located on the physical channel 88 which is 607250 in frequency terms ([url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_cable_television_frequencies]North American cable television frequencies[/url]). Mediaportal will show the major and minor in the add/edit atsc tuningdetail screen if the station is broadcasting an id but I don't think it is used for anything because all mediaportal needs is the frequency, transportid, serviceid, and pmtpid to tune the channel. For my cable at least all the clear QAM HD channels are put together in groups of 3 on the same frequency with the same transportid and different serviceid and pmtpid. So for example CBS HD, NBC HD, and KTLA HD are all on 607250 in frequency terms. Non HD clear QAM channels seem to be put into groups of 8-15 channels on the same frequency like 655250 in my scan.
