I don't know offhand.  I've seen instructions that indicate to use
make_atsc_chanconf.pl, and when I tried it, it didn't work.  So I made
it work :)  If the use of make_atsc_chanconf.pl is obsolete, then
there are some howtos that need to be rewritten.

If 'scan' looks at the air to get a channel listing (just guessing),
it would only get currently-available channels with strong signals.
make_atsc_chanconf.pl creates a list of all the channels you _should_
be able to get, making it a tool to facilitate antenna tweaking for
tuning in channels with weak signals.

Sorry about that.  I had just read the kernel patch submission
guidelines, and they were explicit about _not_ sending attachments.
I'll attach the patch here.  Thanks for your patience.
