I added my lineup last night.  All of my ClearQAM channels came up
Unknown / None, but not all of the reported Unknown / None channels
are available in ClearQAM.

I have CCI info for almost every other channel, but I certainly do not
subscribe to all of them.  If I am reading this right, then having a
CCI of 0x00 on the HD versions of basic cable channels (USA, TNT, etc)
means if I upgrade to there "HD" service, then these channels *should*
work properly with MythTV.
