Ritz:

I have the same set up... T-451 & OTA CM 3021 4 bay bow tie.....
Nice!!

As for Cable by TW.... I ran the same QAM STD search..... 7
chans

My results were messy!!! QAM HRC scan found 2 more Channels...

All my channels were buried in the subchannels in the 80s & 100s
too.

For the messy QAM chan results:

1) All QAM channels were subchannels (Important: write the Pic
subs down..)

2) I could not delete the blank (no pic) subchannels scanned in..

3) I could bring up selected QAM chans found... by manually
entering
the channel No, then stepping thru the Sub chans for that
chan
via the 'next' channel option on the T-451 remote..

4) When I went back to OTA Digital scan... I lost all QAM chans
in memory & could not bring 'em up...

5) I can not simultaneously scan OTA Dig & QAM Digital due to one
RG-6 cable/antenna input port.....

The best I could due in QAM is pick up/identify some unscrambled
Cable Digital chans... & there are very few of Dig
unscrambled...
