I used to be able to get Time Warner (Dublin) QAM channels (local DT and unscrambled) in my Windows Media Center.

Starting last week, all have disappeared except WSYX and WTTE. Anyone else having this problem?

Has TWC stopped sending local channels in unscrambled form over their cable?

By the way, I have data services through TWC, so the cable signal is reaching my house...

Just scanned my TWC QAM... looks the same as always:

CH78 - 1 6.1 WSYX-DT
CH78 - 2 6.2 WSYXDT2
CH78 - 3 28.1 WTTEDT
CH78 - 4 28.2 WTTEDT2
CH98 - 1 10.1 WBNSTV
CH98 - 2 34.1 WOSU-HD
CH98 - 3 34.2 WOSU-D1
CH98 - 5 34.3 WOSU-D2
CH99 - 1 4.1 WCMH-DT
CH99 - 2 4.2 MeTV

Hmm.

I'm seeing only Ch78 channel. How do I make Media Center scan Ch98 and Ch99 channels?
Hauppauge's WinTV 7 isn't finding these channels either. Ot is finding 91 and then 103 (all encrypted).
For some reason, the feed here in Dublin has changed (or they have started to filter these out for non-subscribers (I have only broadband RR through TWC).

Channels 98 & 99 are out of sequence and are actually mid-band frequency 109.275Mhz and 115.275Mhz. 78 is hyper Band at 547Mhz. It looks as if you have some kind of bandpass filter blocking the low-mid-band channels. See http://www.jneuhaus.com/fccindex/cablech.html for the channel frequency mapping.
