Comment:

 The driver for your DVB card does not support channels over 78 for the
 8-VSB modulation. So it's not a MythTV problem, but a problem with the
 driver.

 This is probably a copy-n-paste bug in the driver from an early ATSC card
 which had very limited tuner hardware and was restricted the subset of the
 8-VSB broadcasts that are broadcast OTA in the US. The US no longer issues
 new broadcast licenses above channel 69... The copy-n-paste was probably
 from the Air2PC rev 1.
