2-1 WCBS & 2-1 WMAR

While channel surfing I tried to get PAX-DT Wilmington DE (I'm in Dover DE)
and came up with analog 31 PAX from NYNY. Just for the hell of it I dialed
up 56 and got WCBS-DT 2-1.

After manually scanning the channels I dialed up 52 and got WMAR-DT 2-1. I
added it into the channel list and got the following using the channel
up/down keys

2-1 WMAR-HD
2-2 WMAR-SD
2-3 WMAR-radar
2-1 WCBS-HD

So if you're able to get two or more channels sharing the same mapped
channel, it will work using the Sylvania STB (and I susspect more).

So if CBS is thinking of having all their affiliates be channel 2 it may be
possible. After all I've heard Comcast is alligning their WB affiliates to
be placed on cable channel 5 (in honor of KTLA, maybe) ;-)

Sorry, WMAR is ABC in Baltimore and one of my regular DT channels.

In that respect, KSWB (San Diego) does use 5-1 but also maps to 69-1 as an
alias. The analog OTA channel is 69. KTLA is on analog channel 5.

The mapping of multiple results also works on my Samsung HDTV, but not on my
Integra 912S box that I use for my larger TV.
