Free to air should be ticked for non-encrypted channels, or not ticked for encrypted channels.

Provider can be set to whatever you like.

Perhaps you can get it from the tuner's web page. People with Ceton tuners must find the real value. People with PRIME tuners can just set it to 0.

PMT PID should ideally be set to the channel's PMT PID.

You probably won't know this, so you'll have to get it from the tuner's web page.

Service ID (AKA program number) must be set to the channel's program number.

You probably won't know this, so just set it to 0. Transport ID should ideally be set to the TSID corresponding with the physical channel.You probably won't know this so just set it to 0. Network ID should ideally be set to the channel's source ID.It doesn't matter unless using a clear QAM tuner, but you're probably not using a clear QAM tuner for the reasons described above. Just set it to 256 QAM as that's probably what your cable provider is using. This is almost always 64 or 256 QAM for cable (VSB is over the air terrestrial ATSC). Modulation should ideally match the physical channel modulation scheme used.This is the number that you key in on your remote when you want to switch to the channel with your cable provider's set top box. Major channel number must be set to the channel's virtual/logical channel number.Frequency should ideally be the frequency corresponding with the physical channel entered in channel number.Clear QAM tuners can't tune SDV channels so the point is moot. Having said that, if you're reading this then it probably means your cable provider uses switched digital video (SDV) - ie. Clear QAM tuners require the channel number (and frequency, and modulation) to be set correctly in order to tune successfully. Note that the fact that you don't know the correct value means you won't be able to tune/share the channel with a clear QAM tuner even if the channel is not encrypted. You probably won't know this, so just enter a number greater than 0 and less than 159 such as 1.

Channel number should ideally be the physical channel number that the channel is transmitted on.

you can renumber your channels if you don't like your cable provider's numbering system). The number does not have to match the regular/conventional channel number (ie. These don't really matter, except that the number will be the number that you have to key in on your remote when you want to switch to the channel.

Enter any name and number you want to add.

If you're really desperate, missing channels can be added manually. Click to expand.As explained earlier in the thread, we do our own channel scan because we want to support all CableCARD tuners without including proprietary code (which is a maintenance concern etc.
