Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what units does the Ceton web page
expect for frequency?  Is it possibly expecting kHz?  I am looking at my
production backend's dtv_multiplex table for all my QAM frequencies.  I
believe they are in Hz.  An example entry is 663000000Hz (or 663MHz).  Are
my assumptions correct?  I had to enter 663000 in the Ceton web page to get
both Carrier lock and Digital lock.  I just realized this remotely from work
so I can't test the video, but I know something came up using PuTTY and
TightVNC.
