Here's the first several lines of mine:

# config file: tv_grab_na 3.20030816
#
# this file is generated by running tv_grab_na --configure
# the only change you should make is prefixing 'channel:' lines
# with a 'not ' to signal that they should be ignored during the
# grab step
#
retry limit: 2
retry delay: 30
postal code: 98038
provider: 77160 Comcast Seattle - Seattle - Digital Rebuild
channel: 1 CBUT
channel: 2 NWCN
channel: 3 KWPX
channel: 4 KOMO
channel: 5 KING
channel: 6 KONG
channel: 7 KIRO

The rest of the file is just more channels, in the same format as the 
ones above.
