So if I get the following does that mean the card itself works but I'm just not getting a signal? I've learned a lot about Linux in the past few months but this seems to be a bit over my head. Thx in advance for any help.

This firmware is for a different card (Air2PC 2nd gen based on nxt2002,
you have the 1st gen). I don't know if you need a different firmware for
your card. Some cards don't need any.

Yes. You don't have nxt chip.

Install dvb-apps package and run

scandvb -U /usr/share/dvb-apps/atsc/us-ATSC-center-frequencies-8VSB

It will spew out channels.conf contents at the end.
