I think I may be stupid so here is your chance.
 
I have the above STB and have connected coax to TV-Out and plugged into a TV. Told TV to scan and it finds the currently selected Sky Channel playing. As one would expect.
 
Remove from TV and connect to TV IN on Hauppauge 4000 card. 
 
Configure Analogue Capture Card with default Input of Television
Created dummy Video Source and called it Sky with no listings Grabber and default channel frequency
Under Input Connections I select the Analogue Card / Television and add the video source 'Sky' I created earlier
Set the preset Tuner to Channel to 3
Did a SCAN Channels with it set to Try-All. I get back three hits.
 
Once I have completed all this I restart the front end and go to watch TV. Get my normal SAT Free view channels. When I change to one of the newly discovered channels which should have com in over the Coax from the STB decoded from Sky I get static.
 
This shouldn't be this hard as  I know there is a viable signal there as proved by connecting directly to a TV and doing a scan. I am just trying to do the first stage prior to moving to an IR Blaster. The rest of the country can do it so where my friends am I going wrong. I am positive I am missing the blindingly obvious. I have been at this for a couple of days now an I am just going around in circles.
 
I thought it may have something to do with the transport frequencies you can manually set but I have no idea what that freq could be for the Motorola DTH320 TV Out port.
 
Please somebody slap me with a wet fish and tell me what I cant see.
 
Thanks, Grant.
