 I provide this script...? Where do I get it? Also, my cable box uses cable
out, so I'm going with that but in only inputs on channel 3. Meaning the
tuner card needs to stay on channel 3. How do I make it do this?

 How can it get new guide information if the tuner card is still on the same
channel (3).
