Thanks. Very interesting. Is this the right place to ask a related question? Where can I find out which of these frequency listings is the one I should be using for my Comcast provider?

I'm guessing it is one of these:
us-Cable-EIA-542-HRC-center-frequencies-QAM256
us-Cable-EIA-542-IRC-center_frequencies-QAM256
us-Cable-HRC-center-frequencies-QAM256
us-Cable-IRC-center-frequencies-QAM256
us-Cable-Standard-center-frequencies-QAM256

I'm taking a look here (after Googling) and it gives me the impression it is just a matter of trial and error:
Adding Digital Cable Channels (For ATSC/QAM Tuner Cards -- USA/Canada) - MythTV
