Thanx!  I'll check that out tonight.  Does that extend to mythweb at all?

	21.8 is for preventing the grabber from getting listing info.
	However, you want the listings but don't want to show all of
	them in the EPG. For that, there is the "favorites" mechanism.
	See your keys.txt file for info on this and probably many other
	nifty feature that you may not be aware of.
	
	Mark the channels that you normally do want to see in the EPG with
	"/". "4" will switch between the full list and your subset and "/"
	allows your to add or remove channels on the fly.
	
	In Setup->TV Settings->Program Guide, there is a checkbox for
	"Display 'favorite' channels". When checked, the EPG will always
	start with the favorites view but you can still use 4 to see the
	full view at any time.

	...
	- Pressing '/' will mark/unmark the current channel as a "favorite"
	- Pressing 4 will toggle the guide listing between all channels and filtered
	  "favorites".
