I finally talked to a Toshiba repair person. I found out what my
problem is. When you chose cable box setting it disables the
unscrabled cables on the RF inout to only channels 2-13. If I set the
systems settings to no cable box then I would get all the unscrambled
channels. and could record off my cable box for scrambled channels but
them I lose my cable box scheduling on TV Guide.

The previous unit SX32 had more flexibility as I could chose both
unscrambled and scrambled channels.
