I wish I could echo these sentiments, but I can't. I'm currently trying to 
setup a new system with 7738 using my HD3000 with my HD via my cable line 
(QAM_256 HRC). Previously I used 
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/150118#150118 to get it 
setup and it worked like a charm, this was near the begining of Oct(don't 
remember what SVN). Now when I scan it randomly picks up stations I have, 
never all, and so far missing quite a few of the mplexid/frequencies I need. 
I don't know how the scanning process works, but for QAM_256/HRC it still 
needs some work.

Now on to figure out how to get it to correctly populate my dtv_multiplex so I 
can add my channels...
