In case you want to use DVB-C, the Pinnacle Hybrid Pro 330e does NOT
support DVB-C, only analogue TV.
This device only supports DVB-T and analogue TV (which has nothing to
do with DVB-C or DVB-S)
You might try kaffeine for scanning for DVB-T channels.

for creating a custom scanfile you need some information about the
dvb-t transponder.
T 482000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM16 8k 1/4 NONE
T 762000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM16 8k 1/4 NONE

the Pinnacle 330e is capable of autodetecting everything beside the
first 2 entries (frequency, bandwidth)

There are tools available for creating scanfiles and running the
bruteforce method:

look at Schritt 4, or tar xfvj dvbt-scanaid-0.03.tar.bz2
