[QUOTE="aclark20, post: 494073, member: 96902"] Trying to get my HVR-2250 set up with Comcast Cable... I scanned the digital channels, telling it to use QAM. What I get is a list of 150+ “Unknown Channel 151262-30”. The type is listed as ASTC although it is really tuning QAM. A channel is listed as “18 0:0” - whatever the channel number it’s always followed by 0:0. None are marked encrypted. If I click the “unmark encrypted” button, nothing happens, but when I go to preview most of these channels, I am told “Preview failed-ChannelIsScrambled” Am I really supposed to try to watch each of these channels and manually remove the scrambled ones? Am I supposed to guess at the channel call signs or channel numbers? I have no idea where to start. Supposedly there is some correlation between: Channel Number Virtual channel number Frequency Major/Minor Channel number Channel ID (Schedules direct site) Channel Name (HDHR site) WinTV, BeyondTV, etc all use the standard QAM designations... 112-4, 92-1 etc.... There I can easily map to my SiliconDust lineup ([url]http://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/lineup_web/US:98258#lineup_478730[/url]) How does anyone ever manage to map any of these channels properly in less than a week (only to be redone when comcast decides to mix up the channels again) [/QUOTE]
