This happened to me too (also an OTA HD line-up). Furthermore, they
seem to have eliminated all of the subchannels (no more 2-1, 2-2,
etc.), so it looks like a regular analog channel lineup or something.
So currently, I have no listings information.

This is for a SF Bay Area peninsula lineup, in case this problem is
localized or something.

I actually don't know how to fix this. Any clues?
