channels.conf files

A working QAM cable layout is a channels.conf file from your installation which is successfully tuning digital cable TV using an HDTV tuner card, along with the name of your cable provider, which tier you have (if applicable), and your zipcode (because many cable companies serve different channels from different headends) and user name.

Boston, MA - Comcast

I made this ~ Nov2005, there may be new or removed channels.--Steveadeff 21:24, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Lake in the Hills, IL 60156 - Comcast

Commented (#) lines appear to be QAM encoded SD channels (which I don't need). Double commented (##) lines are channels I haven't identified yet. There are other channels I removed as well (Spanish, public access, etc.) that I don't need.

Richmond Hill, Ontario (Canada) - Rogers

Notes:

- These were gleaned from my Rogers-supplied SA3250HD box, March 28th 2006
- All channels appear as "Clear-To-Air" and are tunable by a pcHDTV3000 with mplayer or xine.
- I can't for the life of me make Myth tune them with anything I've tried from Google.
- Last field (PID) was taken from SA3250's "Source ID" (seemed right?), and is shown in hex - converting to decimal didn't seem to help Myth.
- Rogers channel numbers and name discrepancies between zap2it's Digital Cable listings are shown in comments above each channel.

Please edit this and email me (davidmindslip@hotmail.com) if you have any further success!
