Ok, here's the latest.
I installed dvb-apps and was able to scan channels.
I imported the file to mythtv but no dice... zero signal, zero channels

Here are the steps...
So closer but not quite there yet...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

yum installed dvb-apps

cd /usr/share/dvb-apps/atsc

scandvb -A 2 us-Cable-Standard-center-frequencies-QAM256

-partial see full dump-
(see the rest below)

I imported the channels.conf file but still mythtv wouldn't see any channels

zero signal... period :(
