line.  First to get attention.  This list get a lot of volume.  

My second reason is that there is a VERY good possibility that my subject line 
is spot on.  It is HIGHLY convenient that ALL of these 'extended basic' 
channels are hidden from MythTVs channels scan.  Not just some but ALL.  
While the FFC mandated channels are all perfectly viable by Myth channel 
scanner.  Yes the subject is slightly over the top but I don't think it that 
far off.

For some reason my mail client (KMail) was unable to quote the final comments 
by hitting "reply", (quoted above, by cut and paste).

I believe that the poster was aware of this flaw in KMail, and specifically 
tailored the post to cause KMail users to not be able to respond easily, or 
to top post and thus get flamed.

I seriously doubt that ComCast is aware of or even cares about the scanning 
problem with Myth. If they know anything at all about the Myth community, 
they would realize that the problem will be solved fairly quickly.

I suspect the reasons for the observed problem has to do with the fact that 
the newly-digital channels were added later to the lineup, there is simply no 
benefit to Comcast to put time and effort into delaying Myth users from 
finding the channels.

There are enough conspiracy theories around the world, we don't need more of 
them.
