| shomas | I am running Ubuntu 14.04. I purchased a "KWorld UB435-Q USB ATSC TV Stick" Its "VID:UID" is "1b80:e34c", (not v3). http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/KWorld_UB435-Q_USB_ATSC_TV_Stick page says "supported under Linux as of Kernel 3.16.??". My current Kernel is "3.19.0-25-generic". I live in the US and am trying to get the clear qam channels from my cable provider, cox cable. 'w_scan -fa -A3 -c US -X' picked up over the air channels
when attached to an antenna but 'w_scan -fa -A2 -c US -X' failed to pick up cable channels when connected to my cable service. Any help is appreciated. | [04:07] |

| intracube | shomas: ParkerR: I know next to nothing about the US tv market, but there are forum postings saying many cable providers are no longer distributing channels in clear-QAM

| ParkerR | Hmm | [17:26] |
| intracube | ParkerR: would match with what you're seeing | [17:31] |
| ParkerR | Yeah
Looking to see if there are any mentions for my provider | [17:31] |
| intracube | for a while the local channels were free-to-air, then even those got scrambled | [17:32] |

Goddammit | [17:32] |
| intracube | 'pure digial' what the heck is that?!
sounds like management bull for encrypted | [17:33] |
| ParkerR | "Pure" "Scramble all the things!"
:| Yep Oh well | [17:33] |
| intracube | maybe they mean they no longer carry any analog services? idk
I thought that was dropped a few years back in the US | [17:33] |
| ParkerR | I have a big antenna on the roof that if the moon aligns just right I get a couple channes | [17:34] |
| intracube | or was that only for OTA transmissions? | [17:34] |
| ParkerR | *channels
intracube, thanks for the info | [17:34] |
| intracube | np | [17:35] |
| ParkerR | Thats what I had feared | [17:35] |
| intracube | in the UK, core channels have to be sent in the clear on all platforms by law
intracube feels like he's pouring salt onto the wound :P but more info: http://www.cnet.com/uk/news/fcc-allows-cable-operators-to-encrypt-basic-cable-tv-signals/ | [17:35] |

| intracube | sorry :s | [17:46] |
| ParkerR | No problem :D | [17:46] |
| intracube | UK (and Germany afaik) are unusual for the number of free channels
most European countries scrable their channels scramble, even | [17:46] |
| ParkerR | Ok so Im going to ship you some cable
And Ill hold one end Lots of cable lol | [17:48] |
| intracube | :) | [17:58] |
