So now I know that I won't be getting any data for the digital
sub-channels.

How can I make some tweaks in the program/channel database so the
program guide will show the same schedule data for the digital channels
that it contains for the primary channel.

ie: Channel 13 is WJZ CBS Lineup from Baltimore. (Analog broadcast for
which we have a listing. Channel 13-1 is WJZ CBS HD Lineup. Channel 13-2
is WJZ CBS SD Digital Broadcast.
