Thanks for the explanation!
The other major issue are the missing channels. E.g. the hdhomerun_config scan finds the follwoing unencrypted channel
SCANNING: 621000000 (us-cable:90, us-irc:90)
LOCK: qam256 (ss=90 snq=100 seq=100)
PROGRAM: 1: 1008.0
PROGRAM: 2: 0.0 (encrypted)
....
But the channel does not show up in mythtv after the scan. Maybe somebody understands the mythtv-setup log messages and can tell me why the channel does not get added?
This is just an example but there are a lot more missing:
