Do you have the MDP-130 or an earlier card? The 130 is the only one
that can do anything with digital cable, which is a different format
from broadcast (QAM instead of ATSC), and then it only handles
unscrambled QAM. Earlier cards work with analog cable, not digital.

Also, do you have the latest software (1.65)? Probably needed to work
with digital cable if you have the 130, although its biggest new
feature is timeshifting.

I haven't found a way to move listings between grids on TitanTV, and
I'd like to. In my area TitanTV has no listing for one digital
channel and a completely wrong listing for another. Yet it has
correct listings for the analog equivalents of each. I reported it to
TitanTV a couple of months ago, and they thanked me for the report but
they've done nothing to fix it.
