couldn't find the settings in 'General'?? So I played a bit with
xawtv:

us-cable - works as described. good except channel 5 and 6
us-bcast - same as above.
us-cable-hrc - all channels now come in but out of tune.
All appear to be 20 or so Mhz too low and can be tuned using the right
and left arrows with xawtv.

I am sure that when I find the settings for myth, myth will behave in
the same way. Still not sure how I am going to fix this?!?!

Any suggestions?
