Default Digital Cable setup?

I'm having trouble configuring my ATI All in Wonder card w/ my digital
cable box. I got the card to work with the cable straight from the
wall, but I didn't get all of the channels. I'm using the trial of
SnapStream (since the ATI software will only allow 125 channels). I
even looked through old newsgroup postings to see if I could find the
right config. Here's what I have:

ATI video card:
Standard Cable input
S-Video Input

Motorola Digital Cable Box:
Standard Cable input & output
Composite output

I've tried the following:
1) Standard cable input to cable box. Standard cable output to video
card. No dice.
2) standard cable input to cable box. Composite output to video card
adapter, S-video to video card. No dice again.

Pardon me for being a newbie, but the cable from the wall is supposed
to go to the cable in on the cable box, correct? Then the line out
should go to the video card? I don't know if I'm missing something
here, the diagrams looked pretty simple before I started messing with
this.

Thanks!

The only way to receive digital and/or scrambled channels is through the
digital box. Using S-Video is best, followed by composite, then RF.
Because of this, you cannot use the tuner on your card. The tuning will
have to be done at the digital box.

myself, I split the cable from the wall, 1 to the digi box the other to
the AIW, then use the svideo/composite line out from the digi to the AIW
for digital channels.
