Most of the programs that require schedules are on 2 and 44.  2.2 is  
WGBH HD.  44.2 is WGBH World.  44.3 is WGBH Create.  44.4 is 'GBH  
Kids.  These are all on the wgbh.org website.

4, 5, 38, and 56 have no unique digital programming.  7 has 24 hour  
weather information on 7.2.  62 has unique programming on 62.2, but  
who cares, it's another shopping channel.  68 has 3 digital stations:  
the kids network "qubo" on 68.2, IonLife on 68.3, and Worship on  
68.4.  You'll find their schedules on http://www.qubo.com/ 
tvschedule.asp, and http://www.ionlife.com/.  http://www.worship.net  
has information about the Worship Network, and maybe you can find a  
schedule there.
