Daniel, just a FYI... Iff I ever was able to get a clean picture off of QAM, 
then 5 characters is not enough for channels from my cable provider. For 
example, TNT-HD is "120-300". I could just use the channum as designated by 
my cable company (184), but 120-300 is how it shows up on my TV (with built 
in QAM/VSB tuner).

Thanks for all your hard work in this area.

John
