[mythtv-users] scanning Comcast channels?

[Jim Marshall]

Hi,
 I have myth 0.21 (MythoDora 5.0) and it is working great. I just recently bought a new HDTV and connected the cable wire directly into the TV. The TV detected a bunch of digital channels including the local HD broadcast ones (PBS, CBS etc...). I currently have my pcHDTV 3000 card hooked up to an antenna but I get a lot of drop outs and pixelation. Since the cable offers the same channels I wanted to try and hook the cable up to the pcHDTV card but I am not sure which "Frequency" or "Modulation" to set. I tried a few different combinations (cable/qam-256, cable-hrc/qam-256 etc..) but generally I get either "no lock" or I get a lock and then "No Tables".

Any one have a hint what I need to setup the scan for (freq, modulation etc...)?

BTW - I am in Billerica MA and have Basic cable (no cable box).

Thanks
