Schedules Direct doesn't have the HD channels in their listing?
That's odd.  They won't be lsited under the same xx-xx format that
you're tuning them in on, but they still should be there.

In my instance, my QAM channels are formatted like 11-1, but this maps
to the cable channel 806, which is how it's listed at Schedules
Direct.
