[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 792926, member: 82144"] :thx: There doesn't seem to be anything wrong there. Just to clarify: you're after digital over-the-air ATSC channels aren't you? If so then you want to be scanning with the ATSC tuners rather than the analog tuners - that's the two "Hauppauge WinTV-7164 BDA ATSC/QAM Tuner" tuners. These are the same tuners that you might have used for cable and clear QAM channels. All that you have to do to change between cable mode and over-the-air mode is untick the "tune QAM instead of ATSC option". After that just start a scan - I'm pretty sure the QAM tuning frequencies don't matter for ATSC. Getting back to the analog tuners real quick: these days I think they're not much good for anything other than analog cable channels and external inputs from a set top box, VCR, DVD player etc. That is because over-the-air NTSC [analog] TV has been turned off in the USA (at least as far as I'm aware anyway). If old style NTSC TV is still available in your area then you may have to enable the "cable" option when you scan - I know it doesn't make much sense, but that is what I have to do here to pick up all my analog TV channels. Hope that helps! :) mm [/QUOTE]
