When setting up the S3, is it possible to setup the cable with one zip-code/postal code and another for OTA.
The reason I ask is because there is no OTA HD guide data for Toronto ... but, the OTA HD guide data for Buffallo should be 100% the same as Toronto since Buffalo receives Toronto ATSC OTA signals and vice-versa.
If I could input a Buffalo zip code to set up my ATSC antenna and a Toronto Postal code for my analogue cable - I think I'd be off to the races.
What do you think?

I think you only get one shot at a ZIP code -- isn't the first screen in Guided Setup.

Perhaps it would be easier to have TiVo correct their database.

Well, TiVo will, no doubt, when Tribune has the data. As I understand it, while Tribune has data for all other programming sources in (analogue OTA, cable, satellite) Canada, it does not yet cover ATSC OTA data for Canada - at least not consistently. It doesn't when I check Zap2it.com. So, until Tribune provides the data, there's not much TiVo can do about it.

And to confirm - one Zip/Postal Code for the box.
