Yes, I should have done that when the discussion with Mac moved beyond
a few driver feature/capability questions.  I have now dones so.

Thanks for pointing that out.  I had misread the help and thought the
default was to scan both OTA and cable.

I had done that before, but without the -A2.  A rescan of QAM64 with
-A2 detected 31 channels on 2 frequencies.  However, all of them were
only identified by 4 hex digits and none of the several I tried with
azap saw any signal.  Might this indicate a filter on my cable with
just a hint of a signal getting through?

As I said on another message sent to the v4l list, I have found a
neighbor who gets digital cable.  I am going to rebuild my spare
computer this afternoon to take over there tonight or tomorrow and
scan on a known good cable.
