Yes, CableCard tuners are able to read and process the channel and 
frequency table from the cable company, so you go back to simple channel 
numbers.  However, the Prime will tell you what the raw frequency is. 
This means that it should be possible to write a script that you can run 
on a cable card tuner that will generate the mapping table for a QAM tuner.

Now if there were such a script, and it would auto-upload the results to 
Schedules Direct, then people with QAM tuners in the same area would 
have a much easier time setting up their systems.  This would also be 
nice for people with both an older HD Homerun and a new Prime.
