Someone has a channels.conf file though I'm not that person (Not sure if
they're on this list still?) If not, zap2it is still usable for one more
month until their management cuts the program, they have all the xmltv
id's for comcast as far as I know.  There will be some channels (most of
them are on demand) that myth will find that do not have valid xmltv
id's.  I'd recommend a scan of the _entire_ frequency span then use
zap2it it fill in most of them then do the rest manually.
