Unfortunately a couple of my local stations have sold their soul to the 
Devil (i.e. USDTV):

Stream contains 6 valid program(s).
    Program 18: 99-9 HGTV:
        Video (MPEG-2), language = eng
        Audio (Dolby AC-3), language = eng
    Program 15: 99-6 FOOD:
        Video (MPEG-2), language = eng
        Audio (Dolby AC-3), language = eng
    Program 12: 99-3 ESPN2:
        Video (MPEG-2), language = eng
        Audio (Dolby AC-3), language = eng
    Program 11: 99-2 ESPN:
        Video (MPEG-2), language = eng
        Audio (Dolby AC-3), language = eng
        Unknown (0x0b)
    Program 10: 99-1 USDTV:
        Video (MPEG-2), language = eng
        Audio (Dolby AC-3), language = eng
        Unknown (0x0b)
        Unknown (0x0b)
        Unknown (0x0b)
    Program 2: 50-1 KASY-DT:
        Video (MPEG-2), language = eng
        Audio (Dolby AC-3), language = eng
        Audio (MPEG-2), language = eng
        Unknown (0x0b)

With the channel changing logic the way it was, trying to tune to 
channel 50-1 got me 99-1 instead.
