You can check the transports in the Channel editor in mythtv-setup I
believe.

Looking at the files in /usr/share/dvb/... it looks like the fi-*
frequencies all use whole Mhz figures(626000000hz is 626Mhz...). In the
UK, for example, Crystal Palace uses:

T 505833333 8MHz 3/4 NONE QAM16 2k 1/32 NONE

But the Freecom refused to tune until I used 506000000 instead. Note,
this only applies to the later Freecom sticks. My two November 2005
sticks work fine with the above frequency, it's just the March 2006
stick that doesn't.
