MCE wont find channels when my OTA tuner is part of the tuners, why? Can I manually..

Hey, I just installed the Windows 7 RTM build from Technet. I also just purchased an AverTV Combo M780 Tuner (for the analog and OTA). I already had a HDHomeRun which gave me 2 ATSC Digital signals.

But I'm having trouble configuring all the tuners in Media Center... I can get the Analog working fine, and the 2 HDHomeRun tuners.... Although the MCE only detects HD signals from HDHomeRun if I AUTOMATICALLY setup the TV Signal. But if I select automatic, it doesn't configure my Digital tuner from my AverTV M780 (says AverTV Tuner 2 detected, but will not be configured.. why?). If I manually configure my TV signal, it uses all 3 tuners, but only finds analog channels. No digital channels can be found.

Whats the best way to add all my tuners? Can I just do automatic, and manually add OTA channels even though it didn't configure the ota tuner?

Summary:
If I select automatic TV Tuner Configuration:
-Finds Analog Channels
-Finds 4/30 Digital Channels
-Doesn't configure my OTA Digital Tuner from my AverTV M780 (Only uses 1 analog, 2 HDHomeRun ATSC Tuners)

If I select manual TV Tuner ConfigutatioN:
-Finds Analog Channels
-Doesn't find Digital Channels
-Says it uses all 4 tuners (1 analog, 2 HDHomeRun Tuners, 1 AverTV ATSC Tuner)

I don't understand what you think you are getting when you configure
manually since the HDHR and the Aver ATSC tuner only receive digital
channels.
What are the Analog channel numbers that you believe you are receiving using
the manual configuration from the HDHR and ATSC tuner?
Are you using an antenna or cable to receive the digital channels?
