I've had that issue a few times, the default is not "full scan".   
Make sure when you set up the scan to do a full scan, and cable, and  
qam256, but mostly the full scan is what I miss anyway.  Also for the  
heck of it, you might want to try scanning qam64.  Here in MN when we  
first rolled out digial we weren't using qam256, but i would think  
they have moved to qam256 across the board by now.  Might be worth a  
try.
