I don't do OTA, but I do use QAM-256 on my HD-5500. Make sure you removed the cx88-blackbird driver and loaded the cx88-dvb and cx8800. Once you get your scanned channels from dvbscan, copy the dumped output to a file called "~/.azap/channels.conf". Use azap to tune a channel by typing something like this:
<br><br>azap -r KTBW-D1<br><br>Then with mplayer type this:<br><br>mplayer -nosound /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0<br><br>Mplayer should start and show a picture. Go through all of the channels in channels.conf and find the working ones. Some people may have a script you can run to do this for you. After you have a good working
channels.conf file you can import it into MythTV. Under mythtv-setup -> input -> DVB Card -> scan for channels: one of the boxes says: input channels.conf. You only need to have the channels you can pickup in your Zap2It account. I don't know about populating the guide MythTV might match the ones listed in your
channels.conf to the ones in your Zap2It account or you may have to tweak it manually. I havn't gotten that far yet. Check out these two links:<br><br><a href="http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Adding_Digital_Cable_Channels_%28For_ATSC/QAM_Tuner_Cards_--_USA/Canada%29">
