[mythtv-users] clear qam channels & schedulesdirect

Hi all,
I've just heard that recently comcast made almost all of the expanded basic
channels available on QAM in the clear.
I'd like to program these channels into mythtv and replace the use of analog
cable, since I've heard stories that we'll lose analog cable at some point.
Also, the idea of recording multiple programs with the same tuner is
tempting.  However, I'm concerned about the channel numbering and getting
the schedulesdirect to be happy with this.  If I change the QAM channel
numbers (for example 5.1, 7.1, etc) to the channel numbers for comcast
digital cable (101, 102, 103, etc), will mythtv automatically assign the
channels to the proper feeds from schedulesdirect?  Or will i need to
individually assign the xmltv id's?
I'm hoping that others will have dealt with similar problems.
Thanks for your help,
-Greg
