Yeah, that would be great, thanks :) 

BTW, does anyone know how much reconfiguration I would have to do to use
the alternative UK TV listings? The UK has 2 listed and I just chose the
first in the list. Would I have to re-do my channel configuration all
over again if I swapped over? Or could I just change to the uk
alternative listings in MythTV setup and that's it?

Thanks,
Andrew
