[PLUG] pcHDTV 5500 and QAM 256 with Comcast in KoP


So here's the deal, someone with Comcast in this area has to find out
the frequency assignments for the HDTV channels.  You need a comcast
supplied cable box with a diagnostic mode.  If you can, I would
greatly appreciate the help.  I don't know anythging about the boxes,
so I can't tell you what diagnositc mode means.
