Follow-on.  Curiously, I note that the main missing channel I am
interested in, sci-fi, is appearing on channel 25 (on tv tuned to the
cable, and in listings, it is 68).   As such it gets the call sign of
KTLN (a local broadcaster which is listed as being at 25)

This is lineup ID CA04614:- if you are curious, comcast analog cable
for sunnyvale.
