OK, I did try that prior to scte65scan but I guess I got confused and I did
see a reference in the wiki to use scte65scan if you're on comcast so I went
there.

So, here's what I'm doing ...

1. Remove tuners
2. Adding both back in.
3. Going to connections and associating them with my OTA listing on
schedules direct.
4. Hitting Scan For Channels
5. Changing Frequency Table to "Cable"
6. Hit "Next", the scan starts.  A lot of "Timed out, no signal" messages
and a few "Timed out, x possible channels" messages, usually preceded by a
few "Program XX encrypted" lines.
7.  Now I get "Found 49 off air channels" and the options are "Delete All",
"Set All Invisible" or "Ignore All".  I picked Delete.
8. "Found 7 old SCTE channels", I chose "Update All"
9. "Found 9 old MPEG channels", I chose "Update All"
10. "Found 8 new non-conflicting MPEG channe;s", I chose "Insert All"
11. "Found 1 new conflicting SCTE channel", I chose "Insert All" and took
the suggested channel number.
12. "Found 16 conflicting old SCTE channels, I chose "Update all"
13. "Found 12 new conflicting MPEG channels", I chose "Insert All" and took
the suggested channel number.
14. "Found 3 conflicing old MPEG channels", I chose "Update all"
15. "Found 136 unused transports", I chose "Delete All"
16.  And finally click finish.

Did I do that right, and what do I do next?
