This iView 3500STB works in Kentucky on Time Warner Cable. It will tune the unscrambled channels. It gets the numbers wrong but the channels are there. You say your TV could find unscrambled QAM channels so this iView set top box should do the same. If it's not working, I'd have to guess that it is a defective unit providing you have chosen "cable" in the menu for it's channel search.

This will NOT word on COX or DirecTV or Time Warner or any other cable/satellite provider. Cox is scrambled QAM channels. This will only work on FTA or ATSC channels. I live in the Southern California region and I get almost all ATSC or free channels.

Go to set up menu. Move to the top right to channels. Click on channels, and go down to air or cable. Click on scan and start scan, and allow scan to finish. Then press OK and you are done.

The older version 7 firmware works best for clear QAM channels. Other firmware versions can incorrectly skip many valid clear channels. If you are currently using V7, however, do a factory reset, skip the initial channel scan by pressing MENU, set the channels to use USA and CABLE then do a scan. I tend to consistently pick up a few more channels using manual scans instead of AUTO scan but you have to know which channels to scan.

The problem is probably signal detection by either your tv or cable box. In newer electronics they use DLNA which means that all your electronics recognize each other's circuitry. Since this device is intended to merely be an analog re-route, chances are that this feature is more than this device is actually able to do. I was hoping that it would be have been able to recognize my DVR also, but depending on the models that you're using some cable or satellite providers may be able to furnish you the component that it is compatible with your set up. But as anything it may cost you. I went to my local electronics store and that was the answer I received from the technician. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask. Thanks.

It's analog TV signal, not digital. You need to connect the antenna to the DVD player, and use it to search channel.

I said in my earlier post that I did everything I could which meant I rescanned and also tried the newly purchased more powerful antenna. I received all the stations clearly but not the digital signals. I am in a metropolis city. This tv evidently does not pick up digital signals. I did get over the air signals from the first day I bought it but the question was if it would pick up digital signals after Feb. 17. Even after recanning the test today proved to me that with or without an antenna the tv does not pick up digital signals in a big metropolis area with many tv stations.

Hi, I have a dtv and tried it myself. I switched the tv back to analog and turned on the DR560. The channels came in the same as my dtv or converter box I use on another tv. I would think it has to do with the Input as someone already answered. I am hooked up with the RCA jacks from the dvd to tv. You might want to try the RF Modulator if you don't have the jacks. That's one reason I purchased a new TV. Also, someone wrote about the clock being an issue after Feb. 17th. I checked the manual and it does allow you to manually set the clock, so hopefully this will not be an issue. Hope this helps. Good Luck Hi, I have a dtv and tried it myself.

I wish it would have picked up the digital signals today during the test this city had for people to check their tvs. It did not. I picked up the local stations but they were running an alert that "this tv is not ready for digital signals" to all tvs that were not digital. If I put the cable connection on it then it is just fine but my understanding was that this tv had a digital tuner and could pick up digital signals.

are you sure that the cable box is HD? kinda sounds like it is SD? the other thing to remember is that not all stations are being broadcast in HD and even then some local channels might not be broadcasting certain shows in HD. for example, my local stations might broadcast a golf game that is in HD, but the local news is broadcast in SD. As for the tv itself, i'm not sure. I'm waiting to get my 4053 delivered and i'm having a hard time waiting! you might want to check your connections again though.

After you switch to antenna, you need to scan for available channels. Your TV will keep them in it's system for antenna. You only have to do this the first time.

I apologize for this inconvenience. It may help to re-scan for channels by: disconnecting the antenna, scanning for channels, unplugging the TV from the electrical outlet for 1 minute, reconnecting the antenna and plugging the TV back into the outlet, then re-scanning the TV once again. For further assistance, please contact support@satechi.com.Thank you,Satechi Technical Support

Mine is connected directly to the TV. After the TV completed the scanning process., I had 15+ channels. Also, you may have to move the antenna to a clear location near a window.

Go to the menu and select which input such as cable, sat, or antenna. Then it should guide you on the setup of scanning the channels and saving. Make sure you keep the battery charged as well on the unit as this helps them memory save the channels once scanned and stored.

Make sure when you are scanning for channels your TV is on air and not cable. Your antenna should be facing the window. Just keep moving it around until your channels start coming in. Good luck!

I am in Brooklyn and do not use Comcast. However I scanned using an HD TV Antenna and I believe that's why I got so many channels. I scan for channels using the setting 'AIR' .. Not Cable... and I must say I got quite a few channels. I am very happy with this TV/DVD. Love it

It has a function to search channels, and once they are found, you can use rather the remote control or the TV buttons to navigate them.Depends where you are locate or the service you have hired it will be the amount of channels you will have. all the channels will be found are going to be digital. In my country - Costa Rica - I get 4 which are digital. There channels analogs are not shown at all.

you can see the menu of the machine? Try to chance the input, in my case i still use the av cable. At the menu you can choose the sat and scan for the channels.
