an unusual problem regarding tv tuners/wmc
Hello all, I'll try to make this make as much sense as possible.
I bought a tv tuner that doesn't pick up everything my television picks up. I have a cable subscription that is delivered to my apartment via coaxial cable.
Now, here's where the unusuality comes in.
Even though I am only paying for basic cable, I get many, many channels that I don't think are part of the basic package (ESPN/ESPN2/TLC/etc). My hdtv picks these channels up when I have the coaxial simply plugged into my television (no cable box). However, these channels are found on places like 102.410, 55.1241, etc.
Is it possible to pick those up with a tv tuner? I recently bought this one:
Newegg.com - AVerMedia AVerTVHD Duet - PCTV Tuner (A188 - White Box) - TV Tuners & Video Devices
and it picks up my channels like 7.1 (abc hd) 5.1 (fox hd) and the like, but does not pick up anything past channel 50 or so.
Is it possible to pick up the 102.410s of the world with a tv tuner? What type would I need? Is there some key information that I am not understanding? The requested channels ARE digital, yes? Because I noticed my card does not pick up NTSC, but that shouldn't be an issue, right?
Thanks much.
