I am trying to get my pcHDTV card working with me-tv but I'm stuck at how to scan for channels. I installed dvb-utils and ran scan, but I'm confused as to what options to pass to the scan command. It seems scan can't scan without some sort of "initial tuning data" ... how do I get that? I'm only interested in ATSC and I'm in the Orange County, CA area if that makes a difference.

I used to run MythTV but I'm fed up with its bloat and needing to mess with databases. Is there any easy way to scan for channels like MythTV does, or can someone who has done this with a pcHDTV card point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
-Farrell
