Sorry, Robert, I think you are wrong. The diff output here

http://pastebin.com/1tZgC4yB

shows 6 diff chunks, with 8 stations in total, that are in the TMS-DD
data but not in the SD-DD data. When I checked on my SD account, these
stations were included in the Cable source, but not the CableDigital
source. So, the error was not with TMS-DD but SD-DD--or so it seems to
me.

However, you mentioned you may see different settings than we see on our
SD accounts (?), and I wonder if this is what is happening to me.

As I said, CableOne is killing analog cable, so I won't see this
incongruity in a couple weeks.
