To do this, head to the command line and type in "hdhomerun_config ffffffff scan 0 ~/scan0.txt" (assuming linux). Your hdhomerun will now scan all of the frequencies on which cable providers send data. As you watch the scrolling text look for the lines that say "TSID: 0xyyyy" where yyyy will be a hexadecimal number. Example below.

That being said, there is a possibility that Adam Sutton might glue something together for us folks that are stuck without unique TSID. Work is being tracked as a feature request "

John,
I did the scan and I do seem to be getting unique TSID's, see my scan0.txt. I then proceeded to make my custom DVB by location file per your link. See us-IL-Peoria. When I add this file, TVHE sees 82 muxes, and zero services :( This is actually worse than what I had before. I'm not sure what's going on.
my log basically show's this for all the Mux's
Jan 12 23:07:30 dvb: "/dev/dvb/adapter2" tuning to "285,000 kHz" (Initial autoscan)
Jan 12 23:07:32 dvb: "285,000 kHz" on adapter "HDHomeRun ATSC", status changed to OK
Jan 12 23:07:35 dvb: "/dev/dvb/adapter0" tuning to "615,000 kHz" (Autoscan)
Jan 12 23:07:48 dvb: "/dev/dvb/adapter1" tuning to "297,000 kHz" (Initial autoscan)
Jan 12 23:07:50 dvb: "297,000 kHz" on adapter "HDHomeRun ATSC", status changed to OK
Jan 12 23:07:50 dvb: "/dev/dvb/adapter2" tuning to "291,000 kHz" (Initial autoscan)
Jan 12 23:07:51 dvb: "291,000 kHz" on adapter "HDHomeRun ATSC", status changed to OK
So it is finding everything okay.
Is there something in the dvb config that maybe I missed? Per the sourceforge page FAQ's I did not edit my config file in /etc/dvbhdhomerun. I also did not rebuild my kernel
sudo dpkg-reconfigure dvbhdhomerun-dkms
since TVHE was able to see my tuners. Are these steps I need to do?
FYI I am running this on Lubuntu 12.10. Thanks again
