Eric, et alii: 

I just finished logging on and off of schedulesdirect.org. 
I _DID_ (and still do) have two separate "feeds" (I'll call them) set up.

Zip Code, Location are the same between both of them 
First one has Name "Comcast - Cable" and Type "Cable". 
Second one has Name "Local Broadcast Listings - Antenna" and Type "LocalBroadcast". 

Will check MythTV configuration later, but at least this part looks to be correct.
