I've always wondered what all the other x-1 and x-22, etc. channels are that show up after a channel scan.

Here's a list of them (courtesy of HDTV for San Diego )

• FOX 6-1
• CBS 8-1
• ABC 10-1
• NBC 39-1
• PBS 15-1 (maybe 119-4)
  
• CW 69-1 (maybe 119-3)
• 4SD (Padres games) 92-4
• TWC Guide 111-22
• MTV 112-3
• Nick Jr 114-3

Having more and more trouble with the "new" machine.

Started here with losing DVD drive

Now the HD locks up for 1 to 15 minutes, causing apps (Word, Excel, IE) to hang at startup for that long, then finally start. Event viewer has all kinds of errors:

The device, \Device\Ide\iaStor0, did not respond within the timeout period.

The device 'Optiarc DVD RW AD-7203S' (IDE\CdRomOptiarc_DVD_RW_AD-7203S_________________1.06____\4&b343978&0&0.2.0) disappeared from the system without first being prepared for removal.

Gateway wants me to send it in, but without my 2nd drive in there. This morning, unplugged that drive to see how it fares before sending in. (Without that drive, if all ok, what's the point of sending it in?). First boot, wouldn't boot (thought I unplugged the wrong disk - nope)

The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:

I'll be hitting Hulu.com during the game to catch up on some of the commercials. Apparently they have this gadget that will let me show them to you right here:
