Thanks so much, right on the money. Being 50+ years old I should have
thought about this but it has been so long since having to set something
to cable tuning rather than broadcast. When I went into
mythtv-setup/input the card was set to default. Changing it to us-cable
fixed the tuning issue.
I guess that somewhere the default changed because under mythdora 5 when
set to default I could tune all the channels, then under mythdora 10.21
default gave me the broadcast tuning.
Anyway, thanks for the help.
