Hacking Cable TV

New member Username: John_mosbyVirgina USA Post Number: 10 Registered: Jul-09 | I have broadband Internet only. In two rooms I receive around 60 to 70 cable channels on two old 19" TVs, but on my Samsung 47" ProjectionTV/HDTV I can only pick up the locals a total of 13. Please, No guessing looking for an experience person. THANKS |

DOA......good point I was thinking of that but didn't try it because I thought all the Cable signals were digital signals. |

New member Username: SammynorthPost Number: 9 Registered: Oct-06 | You'll smack yourself when you learn the answer. Your two older TV's have the tuners set to pick up cable (channels 2- 80/90 or so). Your new flat screen has the tuner set to scan only "air" (which it sees as channels 2-13). Somewhere in the menu will be the setup for scanning channels - change it there!! |

Silver Member Username: KriskrosPost Number: 128 Registered: May-06 | ISP provider - TWC TV - Phillips with built in HDTV tuner. In my case I used 2way cable splitter, one end to cable modem, second one directly to TV. Scanned channels with TV using Cable mode. Found 525 digital channels and 29 analog channels. Watching only about 15 digital channels including locals, SHO HD and Versus HD. All other digital channels are Scrambled. Any idea how to resolve this to watch more channels? Links above are helpful, but is there a proven method or equipment??? |

Actually yo're lucky to get one scrambled channel on this setting Most cable companies use PowerVu+ or DC-II I haven't seen any credible proof of breaching their security So to answer yor question I'm yet to see any proofs Only claims by the site I posted above As far as local HD That is normal cuz it's mandated by FCC that all cable companies carry Free digital locals |
