Agreed.  Another question I'd have is, on an existing OTA setup, can
the existing channels be used?  All my experiences with scanning
channels, even a few recent ones where PIDs changed etc, has been
nothing short of a nightmare.  I've been running my system for seven
year and have never had to delete a video source.  Does that delete
the associated channels?

Also, does anyone know if Joseph is correct in the above post, that
the XML service will continue to work?  That would certainly change
the level of urgency on all this.
