pinnacle pctv hd stick usb tv tuner

USB TV tuner in college dorm?

I bought the pinnacle pctv hd mini stick and my college dorm is supposed to have cable. Using a coaxial cable, I hooked it to the the cable jack(I think that’s what it’s called), and then up to my computer. But it can’t find any channels when I’m searching. Am I doing something wrong? The cable is fairly secure(if you pull on it, it won’t come off) and this is what the instructions seem to say. It’s supposed to e able to receive ClearQAM channels. Does anyone have any clue why it’s not working? Is it more likely to be my cable provider or the pinnacle device? Using the antenna, I can get a few bad quality channels(like local channels) but absolutely nothing when it’s plugged in directly to the cable. Any suggestions?

If you are getting stuff with the antenna, then you have it installed correctly. You need to set it for “cable” tuning and then scan for channels.

The Clear QAM feature is for digital cable. I seriously doubt that you have that in a dorm.

If that doesn’t work, see if you can borrow a TV for testing. I would suspect that the cable may not be connected to your room.
