Or is there some way to also pick up the paid for channels? (I'm not asking how to pirate Sky, In case anyones worried, more if your paying, can you use mythTV to get em) -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
