Mitchell is right, the frequency data, program number, was in the XML and
it matches what scte65scan reported!  I know my clear QAM days are
numbered, eventually I'll go with OTA.

<Program> <Modulation>qam256</Modulation> <Frequency>129000000</Frequency>
<PhysicalChannel>15</PhysicalChannel> <ProgramNumber>1</ProgramNumber>
<GuideNumber></GuideNumber> <GuideName>KNTVDT</GuideName> <Resolution>
1920x1080i</Resolution> <Aspect>16:9</Aspect> <Snapshot>43208324</Snapshot>

</Program>
