Hi all.

I recently got myself a Toshiba Regza 47" 1080P LCD TV.

Connecting up to Comcast, I get about 400 channels, a good chunk of which are, of course, music channels. Thing is, part of the auto-scan comes up with a bunch of channels located at 0.

Is this typical? Strangely enough, I don’t get a CBS-HD feed, even though internet listings say I should be getting one at 13-1.
