You need to log in to your Schedules Direct account and create a new lineup for the broadcast/OTA channels (in addition to your existing Cable TV lineup). Then in mythtv-setup, you need to configure that new lineup as a video source (that is MythTV's name for a set of channels and associated listing data which are tunable by the selected input), and then in Input Connections, assign that OTA video source to the 1800.

I'll save your post for some hypothetical date in the future.
In the mean time, I have bigger problems.

I just "broke" my MythTV.
I imagine that there may be similar posts about this. 

I am (or was?) running Ubuntu 12.4 Long Term, and upgraded from MythBuntu .25 to .27 , so far so good. 
Then, 50-ish minutes before tonight's shows (plural) that I wanted to watch, MythBuntu informed me that I had 14-ish old files that needed to be upgraded.  Foolish, foolish me.  I forgot the one main mantra of life.  "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."  I "upgraded" the files, and now have a box of junk.  The box does not respond to any key strokes.  (I have NOT reset it as of yet.)  The last thing I remember the "details" saying was in progress was something to the effect of: 
"reconfiguring packets", or something like that. 

So, I changed the channel on the HDTV, the kids get to see their DVDs, and Daddy gets nothing.   Errrrrrrrr...  Not even the recordings.
WHY, Oh WHY did I do that so called "upgrade".  Dumb.
