[mythtv-users] Phoenix AZ Cox QAM DVB HD-3000 and Basic Cable

[Wylie Swanson]

Hi Mike,

First, thanks for your channels.conf note for Cox in Phoenix, and disclosing
that Cox doesn't broadcasts PID's.

I have an Air2PC HD5000 with QAM256 support working.  I am able to
successfully utilize the card for ATSC Over-The-Air signal with an antenna,
but have been unsuccessful in decoding Cox's basic stream for the public HD
broadcasts.  :-/   My latest attempt included using your channels.conf and
important it with the channel scanner in mythtv-setup.   However, when I try
to view any of the channels, I simply get a black screen.  I wonder if you
have the same experience and any tips?  As an example;

KAET-DT-1
Signal 85% | S/N 4.8dB | BE 0 | (La_) Partial Lock

Any thoughts or tips?

Best regards,

Wylie
