I had a quick peek at my Postal Code through SD and see that most Canadian
Digital stations are now shown ... but the Buffalo stations now only appear
to include the old Analog version?

Also a few of the stations (Omni1, Omni2, Sun) show up as being on a
different channel than what I actually receive them on. I suspect they are
including the Hamilton versions and I am picking up the CN Tower broadcast
(or vice versa). Which brings up a good point ... does anyone know how to
'easily' re-map the channel in Myth to utilize the scheduling info from a
different SD channel?
