I was under the impression that the numbers etc returned by atscscan (the
[01af] or [000a] at the beginning of the line, were the "names" given by
the broadcaster (that is, the scan parses them out of the stream as it
does for the video and audio id's. And the channel numbers might actually
be that high if this was a cable scan. As far as i can tell the channel
*numbers* in a cable broadcast need bear no relationship to the normal
"channel and frequency increasing together" structure we are used to. I
have been doing cable scans and finding lots of audio-only QAM streams.
And the zap2it guide shows these with numbers into the 700's!
I would understand if atscscan was showing channel "names" of the form
[xxxx], but they are mostly the actual ASCII-character channel names
(like KTVU-DT and such).
The other piece of information is that I am using an antenna for OTA
scan and not QAM.
It is a real pain because, mythfilldatabase can't find any data for the
channel numbers that mythtv-setup found.
It looks like you are in the SF area.. Me too.
The channel scan in mythtv-setup gives the channel numbers but doesn't
separate the subchannel. So, 21 is actually 2-1, 22 is 2-2.
I had to go in and edit my channels so that they would be presented
like this.
I talked about this and an update to my venture this week at:

This might help.
