Ok, I figured this out.  Simple.  In the video source setup, I had my
listings grabber set to SchedulesDirect, but I had the channel frequency
table set to broadcast, not cable.  So, I was able to surf channels in the
frontend without using ivtv, as long as I surfed channel 12 or below!

So here is where I am, all works good but when I scanned for channels
(backend setup: Input Connections / Tuner 1), it added all the cable
channels but gave them names like "Adding Channel 10", "Adding Channel 11",
etc.  I want to get these to show the real names of the channels, like
"Discovery", "National Geographic", etc.  The list was populated like that
previously, when I had things screwed up - now I'm afraid to mess with
anything.

I have what appears to be 3 options in backend setup:
Input Connections / Tuner 1 / Scan for channels
Input Connections / Tuner 1 / Fetch channels from listing source
Channel Editor / Channel Scanner

Will either of those set the names properly? I do run mythfilldatabase every
time I change a setting in the backend.
