I'm basically in this same boat (pvr350 comcast qam + pchd3000 ota atsc).  I
like the idea of connecting the channels with the XMLTV ID.

But which is the right one to put in the other's field?

For example, for my local KASA Fox 2:

KASA, QAM ch. 2, XMLTVID = 12377
KASA_DT, ATSC ch. 2_1, XMLTVID = 31566

The only differences I can think of between the QAM and the ATSC flavors of
each channel would be the ad-hoc commercials inserted by Crapcast, maybe.
And, just guessing, but I would suspect the ATSC flavor to be regarded as
more authoritative... but I wonder if that's really true.  Which xmltvid
would you use?  Also please advise if I'm confused about any of this.
