I had seen both of those links before, but they weren't much help.  The 
Myth wiki entry doesn't have my location listed (not even a municipality 
that's even close to me), and the Silicondust wiki link shows most 
channels as UNKNOWN.  Guess I'll have to take the long road and look at 
each channel one by one.

Thanks,
Harry
