[olug] Slightly OT: COX digital channel numbers (mythTV users?)

[Daryl J. Rue]

Hey Dan how is it going?

Yeah, we were able to watch other folks payperviews from my aquos sometime
back.  I have not tested it lately.

Anyone know of a PVR Card with QAM functionality too?

A "friend of a friend" said that I/we should check out AVSForum.com and
search under "COX DVR 6412" to find the right thread that talks about QAM
channels.  There are threads for local Omaha and Lincoln.

He says that just recently they posted a list of the COX Omaha QAM
channels.  He also said that COX is looking at switching to a system that
defines QAM channels on the fly, which will makes our work more difficult.

He also said that some of the On Demand stuff is actually broadcast on
these QAM channels, so if your neighbor is doing On Demand you can
actually surf through the channels to pick it up un-encrypted.
