Tom, I've been playing around with the the Ceton card the same way while waiting for my Cable Card.  I wasn't smart enough, though, to consider different units.  Before reading your messages today, I did the debug test on my Comcast box, got the frequency number, and then went to the Ceton page and entered it in just as I saw it in the Comast box:  573.  I got nothing.  Tried a bunch of other numbers and they all didn't lock.  After reading your message, I gave it another try.  573000 got me a carrier lock but not a digital lock.  573000000 got me a carrier lock and a digital lock.  

I'd like to be able to tell you which one worked for me, but so far the answer is none but I'm not sure if it is a tuning problem or a player problem.  I'm trying mplayer using the command from Ceton's site:
    mplayer /dev/ceton/ctn91xx_mpeg0_0
mplayer says it can't connect to the socket and no such file or directory.  Similar error using the alternate mplayer command from the Ceton page.  I haven't explored any other options yet.  

Even though you weren't able to see it remotely so you don't know if you have it working yet, what command did you try?  Same as what I pasted above?  


Ken.
