I'm scanning digital ATSC over-the-air US-BCAST.  At least that's my intent.
mythtv-setup calls it US-BCAST.  I'm hoping it's scanning ATSC rather than
old analog over-the-air.  Oh, the input connection was for Television rather
than S-Video or Composite.

The dmesg looks good, I think.  Here's the dmesg grep'd for xc5000.

[   16.709948] xc5000 5-0061: creating new instance
[   16.715123] xc5000: Successfully identified at address 0x61

[   28.940530] xc5000: firmware uploading...

That dmesg was without the debug=1 option in the conf modules.d conf files.
I have the full dmesg outputs both with and without the debug=1 options if
you need more information.

What else can I try?

Thanks for your help.
