It seems the listing is out of date, so here is an update: 83.12-Public Access 85.3-BYU TV 100.11-SCOLA 105.1-KMTV CBS 105.2-KXVO CW 105.3-Azteca America 105.4-Live Well Network 107.1-KPTM Fox 107.2-NET1 Nebraska PBS 107.3-NET3 create 107.4-this TV 107.5-estrella TV 108.1-KETV ABC 108.2-WOWT NBC 108.3-Me-TV network 108.4-WOWT News/Weather 116.1-IPTV Iowa PBS 116.2-IPTV Learns 116.3-IPTV World I'm not certain that this is complete. I didn't find NET2, which seems odd to me. Hello, I just came across this post trying to find such a channel listing. It seems the listing is out of date, so here is an update:

At one point there were dozens of QAM channels in the upper ranges that allowed me to 'sit in on' other uses' PPV and OD as well as get digital channels like Palladia. Some of these have been removed/encrypted, but there's still a lot out there. Happy hunting! I have been running a home theater PC for 4-5 years using Cox (omaha) basic cable for the 'antenna'.

I just became aware of the existence of these QAM channels and I'm trying to pick up what knowledge I can. There isn't anything on Cox's website about them, so I was considering contacting Cox about getting a channel guide from them directly, but then I began to think that I wasn't supposed to be able to get these stations, that this was happening due to some kind of quirk or hole in the system. Some dumb (perhaps!) questions. 1. Am I supposed to be able to get these channels with my present subscription? I get Basic Cable, no box, etc., which is listed on Cox's website (http://ww2.cox.com/residential/omaha/tv/channel-lineup.cox) as Starter TV and Essential TV, together. 2. If I am supposed to be able to get these QAM channels with a basic subscription, why isn't there a listing for them on Cox's website? It must cost something to provide these channels, so surely they would want people to be able to see them. 3. Do you think that I could get a photocopy of the Channel guide for the QAM channels from the technical people at Cox? Maybe you have tried this -- and failed -- since you might know some of the technical people. 4. If I'm not supposed to be able to get the QAM channels, how is that happening? I didn't do anything to hack their system, just asked the TV's computer to do the auto scan that you mentioned. This situation seems kind of unusual, but I love the HD signals so I don't want to do anything to foul that up. I don't feel guilty about the new channels I'm getting since I feel that I pay enough already ($65/mo.) and the QAM channels are a nice addition to the Basic Cable that I already was getting. Just wish I had known about them before now. Thanks again for posting on this subject. That's so much for posting on this subject.

I cancelled cable a few months ago, and got an HD antennae instead. I'm currently getting 24 channels, although a number of them are dupes (SD & HD versions of the same channel). Haven't missed cable too much yet, with the antennae, ESPN app on my 360 and netflix. That's good to know.

I have not researched all the chanels, but here are the major ones: 105.1 CBS (KMTV) 24022 107.1 FOX (KPTM) 34907 107.4 this Omaha 52251 108.1 ABC (KETV) 32466 108.2 NBC (WOWT) 31853 Just a quick FYI - since cox doesnt send EPG, you can use your schedules direct account to get the guide on these channels to work. you just need to go into the channel editor and put in the XMLTV id.
