If you are scanning these channels in myth, myth will probably choke on 
them. 47 streams on one channel is almost guaranteed to be FM audio 
broadcasts: radio and private stream music. I doubt these have PAT or 
PMT data and so no information.

Of course the hdhr recognizes and lists these streams but with no 
furtherinformation. Have you checked with Charter about the streams you 
should get?
