I too live in Mass. and use Charter. I'm able to capture several (20 or so, depends on the time of day) channels on my pchdtv hd-5500 atsc card. I'm using dvb-utils on ubuntu to scan with QAM-256. The channels like ABC, NBC, Fox, etc... are always there, but other channels like: HBO, ShowTime, etc... come and go. An upgrade can break things some times. I still don't have a perfect working system, but once I get it, I'm not upgrading for a very, very, very long time.

<br>Subject: QAM256 and Charter in MA<br>To: <a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">mythtv-users@mythtv.org</a><br><br></span>Hi All,<br>Looking for some help here. I have been receiving local channels vial QAM256 over my Charter standard cable. However, as of this weekend I can no longer tune in my channels, I see the signal strength go from 94-99% and db jumps around, but never gets a lock.
<br><br>I am trying to figure out if it is:<br>1. Bad cable, the lower channels on basic cable are a bit staticy<br>2. No longer being broadcast, is it possible charter turned off the broadcasts? I have re run dvbscan and I am not finding any channels
<br>3. Due to an upgrade of the kernel/drivers, is it possible I updated and killed something?<br><br><br>I am using Fedora Core 6 with ATRPMS and the latest updates. I have a PVR-150 that is receving basic ok, I have a KWorld ATSC-110 that is receiving the QAM.
<br><br>Any thoughts/suggestions?<br><br>Thanks,<br><span class="sg"><span>Jake<br>
