Wow...thanks a million for that link to that CSV. I apologize that I
was too flustered with my channel scan mess to really notice that one
before. I've been able to find all my future upcoming changes there
(both New York and Philly). Great stuff.

I hadn't been following any of that auction stuff. Sounds like it
benefits the likes of Comcast and T-Mobile a lot more than the public.
What else is new right?

Thanks again!
