I was hoping that was the case, though from Robert's post I have to
guess that it's also a little finicky and could change at any time.
That being said, your plan sounds like an excellent idea and could be
exactly what I've always wanted from myth and digital cable; something
that I always had when I was back on an analog system. Here's hoping that
SiliconDust gets the Prime out the door soon.
