[olug] Slightly OT: COX digital channel numbers (mythTV users?)

[Ryan Stille]

Maybe I wasn't clear in my original post, but those numbers (800 block) 
are for a COX digital cable box.  On a standard, QAM tuner (inside an 
HDTV for example, or a pcHDTV linux tuner card) the digital channels 
always have a decimal in them.

This is how it worked in Sioux City - CableOne says TNT HD is 454, PBS 
HD is 470, etc.  But I find those two channels on 19.3 and  20.1.  Thats 
why I think the Cox published numbers are just the numbers their cable 
box maps to the real QAM channels.
