I haven't yet reached the point where I can even configure the mythbackend properly. Doesn't scanning for channels come in later, at that step?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jan 25, 2009 at 6:39 PM, Eppo Eppleston <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:eppo120@gmail.com">eppo120@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

You don't want to scan for ATSC channels if you're connected to the<br>
cable - you want to scan for QAM channels.<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div>
Incorrect statement. ATSC includes both QAM and 8VSB (which is the OTA encoding). You probably mean that he doesn't want to scan for 8VSB, but for QAM instead.<br>
<br>
But, I cannot find any information from the OP (except his vague ATSC reference) on *where* he is on order to advise him on possible protocols to check for....<div><br>

If you do want to scan for cable channels, try bypassing your converter box.<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div>
Do we know what the output of his convert box is? Analog or digital?<br>
(Is he trying to plug an analog input into a digital encoder card?)<br>
If his cable is encoded, is it worth trying to scan it directly for channels? It will tell him which channels are available, and also which are encoded.<br>
<br>
If he is scanning for channels at the output of his convert box, he won't find any (will he?) What *is* the output of his converter box?<br>
