channels that I receive with a tv antenna.  When I'm on a tv channel, and
want to bring up my computer, I switch to the PC channel.  Seems like I
could use mythtv to have my PC display as the major, and access the tv
channels as small screen in one of the upper corners.  My feeble brain
can't process the idea without advice.  Any suggestions are greatly
appreciated.  :)
