  Comcast does randomize their frequency usage, which is a big nono for them
to do, but they do it apperently.

  But basically, you just have to find the frequency.  There are utilizites
that will scan for them, but they're frequency may not make sense compared
to their actual channel.

  Bear in mind, this is for NON ENCRYPTED HD signals.  Some channels
transmitted in HD will more then likely be encrypted, which you'd need a
special card to be able to tune in, which I believe Comcast will sell to
you, but it may be hard to get in touch with the right person to buy one.
These are the same cards they'd put in an HDTivo to allow it to receieve HD
content over cable.  Unfortionatly for me, sat companies dont sell these
beasts.  *sigh*
