[mythtv-users] Can't find all of my digital cable channels

Hi,
I've just recently set up my first MythTV box, using Mythbuntu. The
hardware seems to be working great so far:
Athlon 64X2 4000
2GB Ram
pcHDTV-5500 tuner
When I scan for channels in the MythTV setup, I don't get all of my
digital channels. I've got Comcast digital cable in the Philadelphia
area (Malvern) and a membership to Schedules Direct with the right
channel line-up.
I set up my card as DVB and scan QAM-256. I get many channels, but not
nearly all of them. For example, I can find the history channel, espn
classic, and discovery health, but NOT comedy central, espn, and
discovery. I get locks on some channels but then get a "no tables"
error.
I'm about to try the old manual adding of channels that I found on the
mythtv wiki at
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Adding_QAM_Channels_For_HDTV_Tuner_Cards.
However, it looks slow and painful (and isn't guaranteed to produce
better results), so I'm hoping that someone has some advice.
Thanks for your help!
