</a><br>> ><br>><br>><br>><br>> Well, sorry to get your hopes up. I've spent most of the night playing<br>> with it, and can't seem to get any "premium" channels. I can get everything
<br>> 2-99 and even several 100's and some 400's and a couple 500's but when i try<br>> to get HBO, starz, encore etc. it just drops me back out to the main menu.<br>> backend log says :<br>> Firerec: No input in 15 seconds [P:0 N:1] (select)
<br>><br>> I did verify again that 5c says off on the cable box.<br>> I've tried it on my master backend and on a slave backend. Both have<br>> different types of Firewire cards, so I don't think it is a card issue.
<br>> Possible though I guess.<br>><br><br><br>Did you check the 5C for those channels? It's a per-channel setting.<br>--<br>Steve<br>Before you ask, read the FAQ!<br><a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Frequently_Asked_Questions">

<br>Yeah, I did. Unless i'm missing a step somewhere. Put the stb on the channell i'm checking, power off the stb with the remote, and hit the select button on the stb. <br>I also have an Avermedia A180 hd card. Shouldn't it be able to pick up all the digitial channels if there is no 5c as well?
<br><br>Is it possible I have something screwed up in my setup/config? Given the fact that 2-99 all come in fine. Could the STB's just be giving me incorrect info in regards to 5c?<br><br>Thanks<br>Chris<br>
