Digital TV with a WinTV HVR 955Q

I have been fighting with digital television since the mandatory conversion  more than a few years ago.  I used to have serveral wintv cards.  This one is a USB supported card that should work in Linux.  It does show up in the dmesg

There is a little scanning ultility which should create a scan of the channels called w_scan_cpp

It seems to do the scan but nothing I can do seems to populate the channels.conf  file.  It is very fustrating.  It is picking up chellens, just not writing them to the file

The same with kaffiene which also scans
