Commented (#) lines appear to be QAM encoded SD channels (which I don't need).  Double commented (##) lines are channels I haven't identified yet.  There are other channels I removed as well (Spanish, public access, etc.) that I don't need.

The tuning was done on the cable from the wall outlet (I have a cable-card on my tv... dont have cox's tuner box).. hence this is what I got for unencrypted QAM tuning.

Revision as of 06:12, 7 November 2008

A working QAM cable layout is a channels.conf file from your installation which is successfully tuning digital cable TV using an HDTV tuner card, along with the name of your cable provider, which tier you have (if applicable), and your zipcode (because many cable companies serve different channels from different headends) and user name.

If your services is not listed here, or in accurate, there are instructions for searching for QAM channels and finding unencrypted ones. If you're just trying to get an idea what's available in your area, you might find this website, operated by SiliconDust, the HDHomeRun tuner people, useful, for sufficiently small values of "useful".
