ATI AIW 9700 Fails To Find All TV Channels

Have basic cable. No set top box, just hook the coax cable right up to the TV. On my TV, I get almost all channels 0-99. Same cable is split to my AIW 9700. When setting up the AIW TV tuner, I go through the setup, select 'United States', 'cable'. Then autoscan. It picks up less than half of the stations that are available on my TV. I disconnected the coax cable from the input of the 9700 and connected it to a TV as a test. It picked up all the available channels(with some fuzz on a few). Again, I simply have basic cable, with no tuner box on top of the TV. Any clues to get all the channels to work? I did try an earlier version of MMC as a fix. It worked the same (not finding all available channels) as version 9.08, so I reinstalled 9.08. Also tried the cable directly to the AIW, minus the splitter, in case signal strength was an issue. Results the same. Most recently, tried manually entering the channels that didn't appear with the autoscan. Nothing but fuzz. Thanks.
