Its good to see that someone finally published the settings...however
I would still recommend using an OTA HD antenna instead.

A) You don't have to give Cox any additional money on a monthy basis.
(~$40 one time for good antenna)

and more importantly:

B) Cox doesn't have all *3* (Yes, I said T H R E E) PBS channels. PBS
has a new channel that has been broadcasting for a few months called
PBS World, which runs BBC America, many Nova specials, e2 (A show
dedicated to environmentally friendly design), and DNA (Think "Nova"
but limited to human physiology)

Granted,  I pay $15 / year to schedules direct to get my EPG for
mythtv...but that's about it...which is doubly convenient if you
happen to have an FTA satellite rig as well. ;)

Either way...I've decided once and for all to part with my pcHDTV
card...goes to the first caller with $65 (1/2 price).

Cheers.
