The new grabber has QAM support in the sense that a QAM lineup exists.
You send us the data, we correlate, and then send it back to you by
creating a "QAM" lineup option for your lineup. (The providers still
won't give their QAM tuning information to Gracenote / Tribune, so it
still has to start with a QAM scan and goes through a "bottom up"
process unless someone in your headend has already created a QAM scan
and sent it to us)

The new grabber can extract the raw QAM scan from your database and
package it so that we can analyze it at our side. It minimizes direct
MySQL commands by the user.
