Has anyone been able to use the mythtv scan to find some of these newer channels?

I slogged through it, I found this mapping of channel numbers (as
seen in silicondust) to frequencies:

Then found the xmltvid for the channel using zap2it.

Then added the new channel via mysql commands.

Fairly painful, but I got comedy central working for now ...
