Unable To Receive Signals

I guess, your guess is wrong :-)

There is a number one reason that reads: money!

Many channels charge for their use. If your provider wants to relay those to their customers, they have to pay the owner of the channel. And that's usually a charge 'per viewer'. Which means, that they pay for any user that might tune in. Which makes 'adding a channel' an expensive exercise, not a technical challenge.

It is a little hard to understand exactly what your describing, but if my interpretation is close: It may be a simple case of the TV installed on the cable system not being setup correctly. If the TV is set for "ANTENNA" (or, something simialr), you will not be able to view all the channels on the cable system. You must go into the TV's "SETUP" menu and change the option (perhaps specified as "MODE") to "CABLE".

On one of my TV's here (a Panasonic), the options are "CABLE" and (stupidly) "TV". Helllloooooo! It's _all_ "TV". :-)

I am a guy from Mumbai (India), I was looking for a site to enlighten me about bands UHF, VHF, S, Hyperband. I couldn't find a site which would educate me on the subjecy. Some companies only gave an overview explanation which seems marketing their brand.

Although, i want to know whether TV with UHF, VHF band is sufficient OR with todays range of satellite channels S & Hyperband is also required.

We are subscribers of cable network. Our cable provider is unable to transmit/receive nearly 40% channels. I beleive there could be one out of three possible reasons. 01.The cable provider is unable to receive these channel's signals on his satellite.? OR

Can you guide me for a solution. Please! Moreover, if i want to receive channels like ESPN, Star Sports, TEN sports. What could be the requirement for TV, Receiver in terms of dish/antenna to receive this channels. Can you guide in which range does this satellite channel falls. Is it possible to receive this channels from a normal antennae.?

I think your #3 is correct. If your TV is only UHF/VHF it will not receive the cable channels. (It should get channels 2 through 13, as those channels are the same frequency for VHF and cable.) You need to get a new TV, or a cable box. The cable company should have these. Or you could buy your own. The cable box receives the cable channels and converts them to be received by your TV on channel 3 or 4.
