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

[Daryl J. Rue]

You won't be able to get the others as they come across encrypted.  QAM only
picks up unencrypted signals.  I noticed sears is outputting an unencrypted
OTA signal to all of their HDTV's.  I wonder what they are using to do that?
(It would allow you to distribute HD content, ESPN for example to other TV's
without HD cable boxes.)

Here is what I have so far:
105.1 - CBS
107.1 - FOX
107.2 - NetHD/PBS
108.1 - ABC
108.2 - NBC

If you have an HDTV with a QAM tuner you can pick up these HD channels 
through Cox cable without their cablebox.  I'm still trying to get the 
channel numbers for TNT, ESPN, and maybe a few others.
