It may very well be that just those channels aren't available
unencrypted over QAM. I have Comcast in Houston and I happen to get
most all of the digital channels (all that I care about anyway,
including the ones you mentioned). You might also try QAM-64 and the
"Cable" freq table (not just Cable High for instance).
You will also likely get A LOT of untunable channels, for some reason,
as I think you've found. Just set aside an afternoon to try each and
every one if you haven't already.
