Mike I suggest that you use the scan program included in dvb-apps cvs. There is a modified version of it, called "atscscan" and there are some frequency listings in the atsc/ directory. You can check the list archives for detailed instructions on how to use it, but if necessary, let me know and I'll give specifics. P.S.: Thank you for forwarding my cvs instructions to the mythtv-users list... This applies to ALL v4l / dvb cards now... Soon enough, ivtv will be included in the build as well. Hope this helps, Michael Krufky
