Thanks a lot for the clarification Matt, it's much appreciated.

As far as which scans I have done....  I have done them all (except with
QAM 128) with ony the these stations having potential for HD content
79#1 - 79#22, 80#1- 80#8, 83#1, 85#1, 86#1, 111#1- 111#3.  Which does
seem very similar to what you found.  Do any of those channels work for
you?
