[MPlayer-users] Having trouble figuring out command for dvb:// Solved

[Nathaniel Homier]

Thanks guys for answering.  But scan is not picking up the channel name. 
  I am using my moms cable and she only gets analog but the pcHDTV3000 
tuner picks up the digital signals as well.  I can only guess the 
problem is that she don't subscribe to digital so she don't get station 
names.  But it all fixed now simply by changing the [number] to a 
channel name manually so [000-0001]:459000000:QAM_256:2048:2049:1 
becomes EWTN:459000000:QAM_256:2048:2049:1.  Nothing to do with mplayer 
at all but with scan and the cable signal.  Now we can get digital 
without paying for it.
