Hi Anthony,

Thanks for the reply it's good to know that. The point I want to make here
is that everything is relative :). If someone asked me couple of weeks ago
while I was still on 0.20 would I recommend my tuner card for DVB-T on
MythTV I would have said YES. But now when I moved to 0.24 and 0.25 I can't
say that can I ?!

In your case I would say "HDHR DVB Version seems to work well enough in Aus
in the CURRENT MythTV version you are running on your box". As you can see
from my experience that can change in 0.27 lets say due to some DB table
change or what ever.

Cheers,
Igor
