Bellow is what I found in my channels.conf. It seems to be missing KQED 
and others. I didn't actually use this when setting up my system.

Instead, I selected the channels I wanted in my Zap2it account and let 
MythTV do all the heavy lifting.

As far as antenna tuning, I used the frequencies listed on 
antennaweb.org with dtvsignal. Typically, I will take the weakest signal 
and tune for that. That usually works for everything else. A bit of a 
pain to constantly toggle between frequencies, but I found this is the 
best way to do any fine tuning.

If you are up on the peninsula, things may be trickier, as the San Jose 
stations are in a completely different direction than the San Francisco 
stations. (Practically a right angle depending on your location.)

Use the antennaweb street map to get a feel for what direction to point 
things (a cheap compass can help too).
