    // Finland (untested)
    fmap["dvbc_qam_fi0"] = new FrequencyTable(
        306000000, 498000000, 8000000, "Channel %1", 1,
        DTVCodeRate::kFECAuto, DTVModulation::kModulationQAM64,
        6900000, 0, 0);

        506000000, 546000000, 8000000, "Channel %1", 1,
        DTVCodeRate::kFECAuto, DTVModulation::kModulationQAM256,

Don't know the frequency step, so leave it at 8MHz, and the name_offset at
1 for now.
You can take this to mythtv-dev and see what they say. It would help if you
are able to compile MythTV with any patches they come up with.
