When I went to scan channels in MythSetup (mythbuntu 9.10 x32bit w/ Avenard
Repo) I would get hangs around channel 63.  I simply told the scanner to
start at a higher channel number (67 is where the digitals start for me) and
it finished just fine.  It never hung.  However, when I went to ID the
channel in LiveTV, LiveTV would hang.  It would do that during channel
changes or if I exited the guide.  I can't start LiveTV in full screen mode
either.  I have to start it in Guide mode.  Then, if I escape out of Guide,
the screen sometimes doesn't resize.  So it will either crash MythFE or
not.  When it doesn't, I can go back into Guide, hit Escape again, and I get
Full Screen.  I still have to add WGNHD and CBS HD to my guide, but I
haven't wanted to mess with it at all.

On a side note, I could never get analog scanning to work.  Bummer.
