I use over the air signals with this card just fine. I don't 
have cable, but I have seen references that a lot 
of the cable channels are scrambled. Only a few of them are
can be decoded with MPEG2 software. This may be the 
problem you are experiencing. I posted this to the mythTV 
list so that maybe someone there can help you. I do know 
that TS mode is required for this card's digital capabilities.
