Here are some empirical observations to flesh out the original poster's
story.  I'm guessing that he's in the San Francisco Bay, as am I.  One of
my scheduled recordings on KQED-HD (9-1) failed, and my clear QAM HDTV
(a year 2010 LG) also "lost" the channel.

KQED's subsidiary channels (labeled "WORLD", "V-ME", etc.) remained
accessible at the normal locations while I had to tune the TV to 67-1
to see KQED-HD.

For reference, an hdhomerun_config scan from 19 April 2011 showed this:
    SCANNING: 753000000 (us-irc:117, us-cable:117)
    LOCK: qam256 (ss=82 snq=96 seq=100)
    TSID: 0x2802
    PROGRAM 1: 7.1 KGO-HD
    PROGRAM 2: 9.1 KQED-HD
    PROGRAM 3: 9.6 LIF/ENC
    PROGRAM 7: 7.2 LIVWELL
    PROGRAM 8: 7.3 LWSD

A hdhomerun_config from 2 July scan showed this:
    SCANNING: 751750000 (us-hrc:117)
    LOCK: none (ss=17 snq=0 seq=0)
    [...]
    SCANNING: 483000000 (us-irc:67, us-cable:67)
    LOCK: qam256 (ss=82 snq=99 seq=100)
    TSID: 0x2B78
    PROGRAM 1: 0
    PROGRAM 2: 0
    PROGRAM 3: 0
    PROGRAM 7: 0
    PROGRAM 8: 0

A few days later, 67-1 disappeared and 9-1 reappeared as KQED-HD) on
the TV.  Checking hdhomerun_config as of today, the scan now shows:
    SCANNING: 483000000 (us-irc:67, us-cable:67)
    LOCK: qam256 (ss=82 snq=100 seq=100)
    TSID: 0x2B78
    PROGRAM 1: 7.1 KGO-HD
    PROGRAM 2: 9.1 KQED-HD
    PROGRAM 3: 9.6 LIF/ENC
    PROGRAM 7: 7.2 LIVWELL
    PROGRAM 8: 7.3 LWSD
