QAM vs IPTV

Looking for an official tech support response as to which channels in the 98020 zip code are able to be decoded with a QAM tuner?

@irish91 Thank you for giving us the opportunity to help answer your question via Forums. Normally, this option would be in your TV settings. You can change the input to "Cable," and run an "Auto Program" or "Channel Scan" in the settings menu.

Are you sure about that? Are there ANY TV sets that can decode cable IPTV channels? Certainly not using the QAM tuner!

I did what you prescribed above and now have a list of ~427 channels.

However, they are in the format of ##-###. Is there a way to equate the DTV number from the scan to the equivalent Xfinity channel number?
