So, I used [dvb]scan to scan my digital channels and got a list for
channels.conf that looks like:

I'm wondering how those relate to more normalized television channels
like 77-323, etc.

As a side note, I was unable to get any one of those channels to produce
anything using mplayer/mencoder such as:

# mencoder dvb://02d6 -nosound -frames 10 -ovc lavc -o 02d6.avi

with the above in ~/.mplayer/channels.conf.atsc.  mencoder just reports:

MEncoder SVN-r1.0~rc3+svn20090426-4.4.3 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team
dvb_tune Freq: 555000000
success: format: 29  data: 0x0 - 0x0
TS file format detected.

with the output file 02d6.avi never being created.

Ideas?
