I've got Comcast Atlanta, DCT-6200, PVR250, using both firewire and s-video from the DCT-6200 to my R5A22 Knoppmyth backend.
Lately (I suppose just for the NCAA basketball tourney), Comcast has added two more HD channels. They do not show up in my zap2it subscription, and thus not in my channel lineup. I only found out about the channels when watching TV directly from the DCT-6200.

The new channels are WGLC1 (810) and WGLC2 (811).

I'm wondering how I can add those channels to my lineup? I can't watch HD via firewire because my frontend is way underpowered for that, but I can watch it via s-video (which, of course, occupies my PVR-250, rendering it unavailable as a tuner input).

Any ideas?

I've got a 6200ch2 channel-changing script in place and it works for changing channels via s-video, but I can only tune to those channels that are in the guide database (attempts at manually changing to the new HD channels do nothing).

I have 2 zap2it lineups, one for analog stations, and one for digital/HD. I included the HD stations in the analog lineup and use that lineup for the s-video tuner input.

Have you tried contacting Zap2It? Seems like they might be interested in fixing items like this...

also zap2it seems to be pretty good about this, however things don't automatically happen. I recently had some problems recording hd went to zap2it and realized hd had changed from 18? to 24? I had to update my listing with zap2it to have the right channels remove my channel listings and rerun mythfilldatabase.

I sent a note to Zap2it about this topic. I went to CBS' website and found this:

Sounds like it is temporary, but I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks for the tips, guys!
