Yes, we understand your tuner is not detected. Once we get it detected for you, you will likely have another decision to make, i.e., analog or digital. Your cable coming out of the wall probably has both analog and digital TV signals.
The analog are analog, and work just like TV used to, channels 2 through 75 and 95-98 or something like that. This will be standard definition and cover your local stations and whatever cable package you subscribe to. Typically, "extended cable" will include CNN, Fox, CNBC, ESPN, TNT, USA, etc.
The digital will be mostly high definition and include only the local channels, and maybe the weather channel. These are called QAM for quadrature amplitude modulation which is the scheme that the cable companies use for digital signals on cable. The ones you can get without a cable box are called clear QAM.
If this tuner has both analog and digital tuners, you can probably get both sets of channels, but likely only one at a time. You will set up two tuners in Settings, one for QAM and one for analog. But, first we need to get it detected in NPVR. This may take some futzing as this is not a common tuner among NPVR users.
