So I was actually tuning the QAM stuff ok, I just wasnt changing over to the HD Tuner before attempting to tune the HD/Digital channels. I ran the channel scan utility that accompanies DVB Apps and it found 375 channels. I was able to watch some of the HD Ondemand stuff around the 500 channels so I think Im pulling in everything I can. I definitely found ~23 QAM signals(WRAL,WUNC,WRDC and others). So we are making progress. I have not yet figured out how to force the tuner to change as you are navigating into the higher channel set. Just another tourist spot on the journey;-)
I also have MythWeb working, which allows you to schedule your recordings, resolve recording conflicts and view the current lineup(whats playing). It also allows you to see some stats on the Myth machine and give you an interface to MythWeather and MythNews(both of which are also working).
I also sent over 6 gigs of mp3s, that I spent the last 3 months ripping, and 9 gigs of MAME stuff, so the hard drive is getting a workout. I also want to have Sega Genesis, SNES, and possibly other emulators as well. I need to look into some wireless gaming gear;-)

HD On Demand? I've be very interested in whatever those frequencies are...as well as your channel mapping file...what channels are you seeing on what frequencies? All i was seeing was the networks, about 23 total channels or something like that. Have you been able to associate all of your channel findings with virtual channels?
I was going to put my channels.conf up as a link, but I cannot get into my network at home for some reason. When I get home tonight Ill send what Ihave over in a link. The Channel mapping is done automagically somehow via Zap2IT as best I can tell.
Most interesting. I did not have a chance to check any email last night...went to the Canes game (Woooooooooooo!) and I can't check web based mail from here...corp rules, ya know! I'll check it out when I get home.
An aside, I just placed my order for my new case. I've decided to go vertical, rather than a desktop HTPC case. This bad boy is going to be under a desk next to the TV setup. With NVidia's multiple display manager, I'll have the MCE interface running on the TV and a regular PC desktop on a monitor. After a bunch of reading and review ferretting, the best case I've found for heat management and noise reduction is the Antec P180:

Plus, it's got a cool, sleek understated look to it! :)
