I think I used cable irc for frequency table.  There's info in the
wiki about setting up QAM channels - that's where I figured out what
to do.

My HD channels were all in th 70's, and my SD channels were in the
50's and 60's.  I had one thing on 123, I think it was a religious
channel.  Then there was a whole range, maybe in the 40's? that got
locks but didn't have anything on them.  I have no idea whether
Verizon in different areas uses different channel ranges.
