The scan finds all of my stations except for NBC.  The dvbscan app
from dvb-apps finds it and records it as:

KOB-DT:545028615:8VSB:49:52:3

This translates to 26-3 or 4-1.

This station is in the process of replacing their antenna.  This means
they are by far the weakest station I get right now.  However, Myth
from 13Aug05 is able to pull them in just fine, as can my TV.

I tried inserting values into the DB based on what I was using with
the 13Aug version of Myth, but that does not seem to get me anywhere.
Has the meaning of the "atscsrcid" column changed?

I have attached the log from an attempt to force myth to tune to that station.

I have also attached the log from a mythtv-setup scan.

When using azap on that station, I get:

using '/dev/dvb/adapter2/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter2/demux0'
tuning to 545028615 Hz
video pid 0x0031, audio pid 0x0034
