OK, lets explain the difference between Over the Air (OTA) digital channels and CABLE digital channels.
1. TV's have 2 modes for RF(Coax). CABLE and Air Antenna
2. Air Antenna digital are usually received as 2.1. in 1oths after the first number. If regular Analog it will not have the . 1/2/3/4 after the first number. You set the TV to Air Antenna to get these channels
3. Cable channels have been downloaded and re/sent as 1/2/3/4 and so on up to 138 or so channels whatever the Cable system has.
4. So, when trying to get CABLE, you MUST tell the TV you are on CABLER and set the TV to Cable and not Antenna.
5. You then go into the Auto channel search and download all available Cable channels. Same as Air Antenna search
6. IF you do not change the TV to Cable input, you will only get channels 2-13 on the cable. The channels above 13 will not be received or downloaded.
7. 2-13 are VHF channels and stop at 13. UHF is 14 and up, but UHF is NOT a digital/cable signal.
8. I have never seen a distribution box block out Cable digital channels.
9. You MAY have to turn the Antenna booster OFF to allow the CG cable signal to get to the Quest box and go thru it.
10. Do you still have the original wall plate TV booster installed? Doug
