It comes from the default starting channel, which is "3". That's a valid
channel on my cable system.

I don't have digital cable, I only have analog. Does that matter? (I did
say I'm a newbie in the TV world, right? :-)  If so, where is the
setting I need to tweak for that?

I did buy an HDTV card because I do plan to get digital cable
eventually, once the prices of HD-capable TV sets come down to something
reasonable. But right now I just have analog via standard coax.

My local cable system does offer digital cable now even though I don't
subscribe to it, so this could certainly result in bogus channel data
being downloaded from ZapIt if the data is for digital but I have
analog. Is that a possibility here?

This is the first time I've seen an underscore and two numbers to
specify a channel. What does this mean?


Thanks again for the help that's been given to me so far.
