Should I be using the DVB format.. Maybe that is my problem?  I am not
selecting this as a dvb format because it thought that was the European
standard and not for the Americas.  Also when setting up video cards in
the Mythsetup it shows my card as an option under the ATSC selection?

Basically I used the HOW TO for fedora 5 to load Mythtv and Mysql.  I
kept having issues getting Mysql to work the way it should with Mythtv
but I feel that I have that resolved in that the backend is opened and I
dont get any errors when going to the frontend anymore.

My problem is when I scan for stations I get absolutely none?  I am
confused because it seems that the European community use DVB set up and
I think for the Americas I should be using ATSC settings for receiving
Digital Broadcast channels.  My Zap2it seems to load properly (not sure
how to prove)

I don't know what files or where to begin to see/verify how much of my
set up correct/or not.  I just know I don't get any scanned channels and
I used to get a "can't open card" message when I would try to set up the
channels.  I don't get that anymore but I still don't get any channels. 

Because I don't know what to provide to help anyone to help me I got
what I think may help

This is my lsmod lisings looking at cx88 driver information.. notice it
has a lot of dvb driver<< is this good?  I would think i would need
something else.. Someone set me straight on this please.
