Oh, and you might want to set up a cron job to run scte65scan
periodically to see if they change the tunings.   That happened a
couple of times for me when Comcast was first getting things moved
around.   Finally, Comcast seems to change the version reported by
scte65scan occasionally without changing the actual contents.   My
cron job ignores version numbers when it determines whether anything
has changed or not.
