I was just explaining the logic is uses to determine which capture source it uses.
If you're trying to understand why static is being recorded, then this is because there is no cable channel available at the frequency you're trying to record. There could be lots of reasons for this. The simplest may be that your cable isnt connected to the HVR1600 or maybe not the correct connector. Alternatively, you're connected via a set top box, and the channel 9 its trying to record on is not the channel number the box outputs on (its usually CH2 or CH3). Alternatively channel 9 might not be a valid channel number for your analog broadcasts.
I'm not sure if the Tuning Assistant is compatible with the HVR1600, but try running it. If it works, it should show you what analog channels the HVR1600 is receiving.
BTW, if you want to record via ATSC digital not analog, then delete your analog capture source.
