Well I made some progress but it hasn't resulted in a mythtv.conf file
or anything other than "tuning failed" messages...

I used the following which designated the second card in my box:

scan -a 1 /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/atsc/us-Cable-Standard-center-frequencies-QAM256
| tee /home/mythtv/mychannels.conf

using '/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter1/demux0'
>>> tune to: 57000000:QAM_256
WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!!
>>> tune to: 57000000:QAM_256 (tuning failed)
WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!!
>>> tune to: 63000000:QAM_256
WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!!
>>> tune to: 63000000:QAM_256 (tuning failed)
WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!!
>>> tune to: 69000000:QAM_256
WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!!

So, something must be going on with the card since the standard freq.
work on the other sets in my house, I did try the other though...

Any other thoughts now that I'm able to do an actual scan?

Thanks,
