From what I understand, regular cable with no box is pure analog, you get no 
access to the digital content at all (if you're not paying for digital cable, 
they are likely to have it filtered out)

So what you need to try is to connect to the analog tuner if the 1250 has one, 
and hopefully the drivers for the 1250 fully support analog (I hear some of 
the HVRs have issues with analog)
