Me too! Look forward to the feedback on this one.

Even for channels on the same video source? How would mythfilldatabase
know what to do seeing as the grabber is configured on a per-source
basis? I suppose I could use -infile.

Good point

> DVB-T EIT:

Frustratingly things aren't very easy on that front here in Bath. I

Thanks for the tips,
