I have a similar card (the HVR-2250). Even if you don't use scte65scan, it is unusual for the card not to see ANY channels. 

I would also check to be sure that the firmware is in the right spot, and that it is being loaded. Check /var/log/messages for lines that relate to the card. You might see a "can't find firmware" message, in which case moving the files around might be in order. (I am not near my machine so I can't make suggestions.)
