Yeah, I makes sense, but analog's not off here so maybe they are
upping the bandwidth everywhere and then shutting down analog as they
get around to it.

I don't suppose they are bandwidth limited at midnight anyway.


On a related topic, after analog is gone and Comcast starts moving
digital channels around more and more, is there a page at the MythTV
site that explains how to RESCAN using scte65scan? I did my initial
scan a couple of months ago, and it worked great, but I've forgotten
everything I did and there wasn't anything for me to negatively
impact. Maybe there won't be this time either but I'd like to read up
on how to do that before my need actually arises. I suspect this sort
of thing will happen and I won't know it's happened and then the
family will complain about missing recordings. I don't like to learn
when people are griping at me! ;-)

Thanks,
