[mythtv-users] Has anyone seen a USB DVB-T adapter work with MythTV with their own eyes?

I don't think it was the network bandwidth Chris was trying to save, but 
the processing bandwidth (and I don't mean CPU resources)--meaning that 
those of us who actually took the time to read the e-mail found it 
difficult to figure out what part of the message was 
important/useful/on-topic...  At first glance, I thought some spammer 
had sent e-mail as a list member.  It took me much longer to find the 3 
lines of relevant information than it took to read those 3 lines of 
information.

While the author of the message did take the time to trim irrelevant 
information from the message to which he replied, he destroyed the 
effect--and possibly made it worse--by burying his message in a bunch of 
other junk (a la junk mail).  If nothing else, the author should at 
least figure out how to do a proper signature that causes most clients 
to subdue (or cut/fold/hide/unfocus/whatever) the off-topic info (think 
proper delimiter).  Better, though is to read up on netiquette--where 
the author may stumble across a reference to the McQuary limit 
(proscribed to conserve network bandwidth /and/ reduce the time required 
to read the message)...
