I live in an area where the cable is filled with channels *by frequency*. If you take a look at the Wincast TV users guide you will see that for every channel youcan finetune the frequency. That is something I would need. For the moment I am using an self written program to tune because fxtv does not understand channel 21.4 ;-). -Guido
