I haven't tried it yet, but someone else suggested that simply altering your 
zip code as a workaround for getting a second lineup. So for example, I'm in 
98038, which just pulls Seattle-area listings, from which I use the one for 
Comcast Cable, Digital Rebuild (or something like that). If I want to create 
a second channel listing (which I will be doing later tonight or this weekend 
to get my cable box-connected card back in action), I just try, say 98037 for 
my zip, and I can create another lineup using the same channel listings.
