I think it does have its uses. Take for example a system with three dvb cards
in it. At the moment if you switch cards you see something like 1: DvbInput,
2: DVBInput, 3: DVBInput but with this patch you can rename the cards/inputs
so you see Freeview, Sky FTA, Hotbird FTA makes it pretty obvious what card
you are on. Anything that makes Myth more user friendly has to be a good
thing doesn't it?.
