Post subject:  Channel scanning confusion

I'm having trouble getting all my ATSC channels in the San Francisco Bay Area imported into MythTV. I noticed that some channels are missing from the scan that was performed during mythtv-setup. So I ran the command-line scan utility and got this list:

Code:
$ scan /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/atsc/us-CA-SF-Bay-Area

...

KBWB-HD·:503000000:8VSB:49:52:3
AZTECA:503000000:8VSB:65:68:4
KBWB TV·:503000000:8VSB:0:0:65535
KTSF-D1:551000000:8VSB:49:52:3
KPIX-HD·:563000000:8VSB:49:52:1
KFSF DT:593000000:8VSB:49:52:3
Univision:593000000:8VSB:65:68:4
KCNS-DT:623000000:8VSB:49:52:3
KCSM:647000000:8VSB:49:52:3
KCSMMHz:647000000:8VSB:65:68:4
Jazz-TV:647000000:8VSB:81:84:5
KBCW-HD:659000000:8VSB:49:52:1
KBCW-TV:659000000:8VSB:0:0:65535
KTVU-DT:725000000:8VSB:49:52:3
KRON-SD:731000000:8VSB:49:52:3
KRON-HD:731000000:8VSB:65:68:4


The strange thing is that there is disparity between the two lists. For example, KTVU is in the list generated by the command-line scan but not in my channel lineup. KQED is in my channel lineup, but not in the scan output. I'm using the same roof antenna as I did when I first installed R5F1 a couple of months ago.

I also tried rerunning mythtv-setup, but I get a blank screen with just a "Finish" button when I start the channel scan. It's possible that I'm seeing VNC weirdness. I haven't tried hooking up a monitor to the MythTV box yet.

Does anyone have a guess as to what's going on? Does someone know of a reliable way to get the entire channel list into MythTV?
