Syracuse NY Terrestrial/Clear QAM Mapping
For those in the Rome/Utica/Syracuse area that may combine a OTA digital antenna (ATSC) with Time Warner ClearQAM on a 3rd-party DVR device... or perhaps you're simply trying to tune in the local stations from your cable line onto a computer tuner (HDHomeRun, CetonTV, Elgato eyeTV, etc) here's what I've put together in terms of station mapping...
P.S. To merge the ClearQAM and ATSC channels in Windows Media Center, I used GuideTool. Stations first had to be added manually via Settings, TV, Guide, Add Missing Channel. If you have a different lineup of stations, the HDHomeRun Config utility is great for previewing ClearQAM channels and labeling them similar to how I've done above. If you do not have a HDHomeRun, you may wish to borrow one for the purpose of finding these channels as the cheaper USB tuners didn't have the ease of finding and labeling stations like the HDHomeRun did.

Note that PBS (24.x) is available via ClearQAM, but only with a cable subscription, which I do not have. Please provide that information or any other updates in the comments below.

Glad it helped. This took a lot of trial and error (and looking for the station marker in the corner of the screen) to get right. :)
