Hello everyone, I'm not to technically savvy and I'm having a problem setting up my computers Media Center to my new cable box. I had my computer hooked up to my TV without a box and it worked fine. Now I just moved into a new place and got a cable box (Scientific Atlanta Explorer 4250HDC) and I've been unsuccessful in setting it up.

I've went thru and hooked it up, and start the set-up process in the media center menu but none of the codes that media center gives allows the box to connect and change channels.

Before I had the cable out of the wall going to the splitter than one going into the PC and one going into the TV. Now if I get rid of the box would I have the cable out of the wall into a splitter, one line to the modem and one into another splitter then one to the TV and one to the PC?

Are any of you guys familiar with this set-up? I'm to the point where having the DVR capabilities of the media center outweigh the HD picture from the box. :(

Any ideas guys? Did I post this in the wrong section?

Mods?

Which output from your cable box are you using to connect to your PC's tuner card?
If Coax make sure your cable box is set to output over channel 3 or 4.
You cannot get HD from the box to your PC.
Is the cable box also a PVR unit?
