It turns out the model wasn't supported.  Andy over at ivtv-users helped fix
my analog tv problems on the HVR-1600.

I'm still having problems with the digital channel guide not working
properly.  Can anyone help with this second part of my original email?

I still have digital channels that I can tune in but no listing
information.  Also now I appear to have an odd mix of channel numbers such
as 2,2-1,2-2,... ,83,83#3,93#3.

Questions:
2a) how can I dump out a list of all the digital channels I've scanned and
found?  I'd like to compare this list to my lineups to see if there's a
better match with broadcast or digital cable.
2b) Do I need to correct this mix of 2-1 and 83#3 channels?  I'm guessing
that I should have only one kind of channel separator and not two?
2c) What's the best way to wipe all the found channels to start over with
scanning?
2d) Does anyone in Mountain View with comcast have a list of clear QAM
channels that I should be able to tune and/or suggestions on how to get this
working?  The list on
http://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/lineupui/US:94043<http://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/lineupui/US:94043seems>
seems
extremely
optimistic and doesn't match what I've found so far for OTA
or QAM256.
2e) Can anyone with comcast in Mtn View confirm that they have a mythtv
setup working with clear QAM?  I'm beginning to think I'll have to get one
of comcast's crappy STB tuners and dive into IR blasting that device from
myth (yuck).

thanks
