There are two things that might be going on here.

Are these channels on digital cable?  If so, you'll need to decode using your 
set top box.  A computer can't do a thing with those digital streams.

If the channels are analog, you may be using the wrong channel map.  IIRC, 
channels 95-99 are in some funny frequency block.  They use the same 
frequencies as FM radio, and are actually in between channel 6 and channel 
14.
