[mythtv-users] Analog Channel Tuning without XMLTV Support

[Mlists]

I'm using 8111.  LiveTV is mostly stable.  I have had some 'glitches'
but it's not bad.  I also have a DVB and when I switch from my analog
card to my DVB, it sometimes crashes the frontend.  It also seems more
stable with a separate machine running the frontend from the backend.  

Good luck.
