And, remember that because of the "optional" analog shut off (occuring
now--not /just/ on the 17th) and the associated channel number/frequency
shuffle, things might /really/ just be changing.
When in doubt, rescan your video sources, again... (And/or check your
local stations' websites to see when they're shutting off analog and/or
what changes will occur with their digital channels and, if they're
really good, when.)
