</div>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.<br>
<br>
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:<br>
mplayer /dev/ceton/ctn91xx_mpeg0_0<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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?<br>
