this is plain ubuntu with mythtv built from source and a qam stream from comcast
but when I record kqed:

mpc:heistand% hdhomerun_config FFFFFFFF get /tuner0/status
ch=qam256:561000000 lock=qam256 ss=100 snq=99 seq=100 bps=38813728 pps=1374
mpc:heistand% hdhomerun_config FFFFFFFF get /tuner0/program
0

but it records just fine. but then my setup may not apply :)
