Hey Doug,

I have used MythWeb to set up associated "hdtv" frequencies to the standard
NTSC frequencies, and I have removed all the non-hdtv channels.  If I try to
change channels, either by hitting up/down arrow, or by using the EPG,
mythfrontend hangs, and the backend reports that it can't read data from the
card.

Did I miss a step, or does this still not work quit right?

Cool.  I have mine setup to attempt my first recording tonight.

Thanks,
