tv channels

I just got set up, I understand that I get basicallly 1 thru 100 channels.  But when I use my tv in by bedroom, the one that does not have a box I do not get all the channels I get when using my box in the living room.  Do I not have my bedroom tv set up properly?

First thing to do is make sure your TV is set to Cable(CATV), STD if it asks, and do a channel scan. Then, what channels do you not get in the bedroom?

Also, do you know the model of the TV in the bedroom?

Unless your TV uses a CableCARD, it will never pick up as many channels as a cable box. Most digital channels are encrypted, and your TV won't receive them.

A good place to start would be to check out http://www.cox.com/channels link.  It shows all the channels available and can be broken down by package.  Looking at the TV Essential channels for example will show that many of them are digital only and do require a box or cable card to decrypt.
