Syntax
system cable‐scan [cable‐plan {standard |HRC | IRC | auto‐detect }]
You can optionally supply the cable plan (standard, HRC or IRC). If omitted, auto‐detect is used.
The auto‐detect option will try to determine the plan that is in use and behave accordingly. This is reliable
when there are a reasonable number of other channels on the cable for the ZvBox to probe. A relatively empty
cable may yield unreliable results. During the scan, connecting ZvBox to the cable plant using the same
connection that you would use to connect an HDTV will yield the best results.
Scanning is done from the lowest RF frequency to the highest, though the RF channel numbers being scanned
will appear on‐screen in a non‐linear order (i.e. channel 95 will appear after channel 6). This is normal‐ please
do not stop the scan prematurely. Many different parts of the system are involved with the scan, and may
become confused if not allowed to complete their task.
