I just watched "Big Bang Theory" on my myth system, recorded off
WWTV-DT, the CBS affiliate for my little slice of Michigan - no
problems.  I don't have the patience to setup an antenna, so I record
the Clear-QAM version that Charter carries on their digital cable
line-up.  I don't transcode for two reasons, A) The additional
processing makes SD recordings look even worse and B) Myth's auto
transcoding feature downmixes DD5.1 into 2.0 and that's just no good!
