I was able to pin down the HD channels and can watch them via azap/mplayer.

Since Comcast doesn't seem to report PSIP data (except for one
channel), I spent most of tonight figuring it out.  This is what I
came up with:

channum / channel / freqid / mplexid / serviceid
803 / WSBDT / 111025000 / 23 / 3
804 / WAGADT / 633000000 / 18 / 21
806 / WXIADT / 699000000 / 31 / 3
807 / WTBSDT / 111025000 / 23 / 10
809 / WGCLDT / 699000000 / 31 / 10
813 / WATLDT / 657000000 / 26 / 2

I just used the default channel numbers that Zap2It gave me, and I
made a new channel lineup of just those 6 channels.  I already have a
PVR 250 setup, and I assume the two can coexist.  I added the above
information to the mythconverg database from information I found from
other threads on this list.

However, I can't do anything in Myth such as live TV with DVB.  If I
try, this is the backend log:

The part that bugs me is:

2005-09-25 02:21:59.540 DVB#0 ERROR - No PIDS set, please correct your
channel setup.

I had thought that my channel setup is correct.  I'm not sure where to
look at this point.  Any ideas?  Thanks...
