Ah, yes I forgot about the HDHR website. Great resource if you ask me.
Though, I think it's a fair assumption that those clearQAM channels
will disappear relatively quickly, I'd guess within a year.

This isn't a dealbreaker for me, but would be nice to have those
channels in HD. Though, if I was going to do the whole STB thing, I'd
look into satellite as well.
