</span>I used a script I have used many times for other new channels to manually add 998 and 1999. Neither would work with Myth. I guess I'll just keep an eye out for 1995.<br>

My area received Channel 1995 a few months ago and they said the cutover date was maybe October or November (I forget now).

The other thing I've been doing is running channel/frequency scans from the command line and doing a diff. I'm assuming that once the mpeg4 channels start popping, the existing lineup will change.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div></div>
