Yes, it is identified by the frequency on cable. But you likely have to
provide more parameters as automatic detection of all parameters is not
implemented in all cards / drivers. The list of frequencies including
all other parameters for each transport is helpful here. But to find
the correct list in the data we need this network_id. You can do this
manually by looking at a list of transports with tuning parameters for
your location and manually entering them all.

You can check the console / the mythtv-setup logfile to verify it is
the missing auto detection. I expect errors like this:

Ok, if everything works as it should in theory, then you enter the
network_id of your location which points to the correct list of
transports which should then include the three missing transports.
