Well, I've sent in a note reporting the two issues I've noticed,
namely the missing Ion Channels and they still list a number of now
dead US analog stations (the latter MIGHT be a deliberate move on
Schedules Direct part for any of several reasons...).

If I were you I would send in a brief polite note about the missing
channels. I figure they can't fix what they don't know about...
