Or are you using V4L (hdtvrecorder)? There is no cached VCT for myth to use when its scaning.. There is nothing I can really do about doing a scan when the VCT isn't present other than make some educated guesses at what channels are present in the stream.. I need to code this up for doing a scan of cable when I get a card that can properly do Clear QAM (Unencrypted Digital Cable).. It sounds like there is no PAT/PMT on the channels you are talking about.. The VCT really isn't used except to get names, and provide linkages to EIT.. If there is no PAT/PMT there really isn't a whole lot I can do except revert to the old DVB code that had static PIDs which is quite archaic.. Also if there is no PAT/PMT I highly doubt any set top box would work..
