In my area (Toronto), with my cable company (Rogers), Zap2it shows two
channels with the same number.

You can try it too:

- go to http://tvlistings2.zap2it.com/grid.asp?partner_id=national

- Enter ZIP for local listings:  M4N2W6

- choose your provider: Rogers Cable Inc. - Cable   ( Toronto (Metro) )

- look for channel 26.  You will find two: "CBNEW" (CBC Newsworld)
  and "VOICE" (some audio-only sevice that I've not actually heard).
  It turns out to be the SAP channel.

Myth's Guide, and MythWeb's listings page both combine the two channel
26 lineups in some way that I don't understand and does not work for
me.

For example, right now the guide is only showing VOICE things.

What is to be done?

(I you google for CBNEW and VOICE you will find others with these two
channels with the same number.  Even some folks who have had their
mythweb installations crawled by google.  But I don't see anything
addressing this problem.)
