Im trying to set up a tv tuner card in windows media center. Im going through the set-up tv wizard and everything works fine until i get to the "scan for services" page. When i click start scan it searchs but doesnt find any channels. Im running a cable from the rf out socket on the back of my sky box to the arieal in on my tv card.

The tv card is a phillips SAA713x (i think).

Any idea what im doing wrong/how to fix the problem?

Thanks

p.s. sorry i realise ive posted this in the wrong bit but im not sure if i can (or how) to move it..!

did it ever get any channels?

also have you tried to update the drivers?

do you need a DTV converter box for your sky box? not sure what that is.
