My scan seems to only be finding SD channels ...  I'm on comcast and I used
scte65scan as such ...

./scte65scan -H FFFFFFFF -p -f3,4 -V 3003
us-Cable-Standard-center-frequencies-QAM256 > vct.sql

Source 4 is my local OTA listing on schedules direct, which is what I used
previously, but the results I'm getting from the scan look more like basic
cable listings.

How can I get my HD channels back?
