[mythtv-users] Foxtel Digital Capture card recommedation(Australia)

[Michael Cheshire (Mailing Lists)]

Joshua,

You use d1? I find that the data from d1 is crap - eg it doesnt give eposide 
names so if you record a particular tv show, myth will record it on the main 
channel then again 2 hours later on the +2 hour channel.

:)
