Great work Michael, The scan data looks normal. You should be able to scan with mythtv and get 4 channels. That was my next step after getting scan to detect and properly identify the channels. The first pair of channels are probably strongest since they locked faster. The channel number reported (5, 7, and 9) are actually the old analog channel numbers owned by the broadcasters. The actual frequencies that carry the ATSC stream are in the UHF band. You can get the station identification information and still not be able to see the picture due to a weak signal. Once you work through the mythtv setup jungle you should see a DTV picture. If mythbackend is reporting errors other than "prebuffering pause" or "X Error:..." you probably still have a weak signal and the picture and sound may be jerky if they work at all. -- Mac
