Mike,

Good point.  I neglected to mention that I am running from the 20 fixes 
branch which I updated a couple of days ago.  (mythbackend version: 
0.20.20060828-4 www.mythtv.org)  I should say that I am about 99% 
satisfied, there's just one or two pesky channels I'm trying to hone in on.

Thanks,
Rick
