Plug the output of your external tuner into the 'line-in' of your tuner 
card instead of your sound card.  Then connect the 'line-out' of your 
tuner card to the 'line-in' of your sound card (or whereever you had 
the external tuner sound plugged into before).  You shouldn't have to 
change any other settings.

Unless I misunderstood and this is already how you have it... you 
weren't clear on where the sound from the cable box was plugged in.
