I don't know how datadirect works on this. The channels come in on strange frequencies but of course advertise their VHF numbers. Ie. NBC-11 comes in on 33.2 here I think, but advertises itself as 11-1, though it is channel 3 on the analog cable systems! Anyway, find a local HDTV store that sells TVs with QAM tuners (most new tvs have them, if they have a cablecard slot they have a qam tuner.) If they are a decent store they will know what you can get on the local cable companies. I know this from my TV, but there is no reason a qam tuner card could not get the stations my TV is getting.
