<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I couldn't get this working using the IPTV Capture card, is I decided to set it up using the External Recorder instead - so far it seems to be working OK, but I think I have more testing to do, especially as I add channels.</span></p>

<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The reason for me doing this is that my DVB-T USB stick has given up the ghost and, for the number of channels I use it for, it seemed easier and cheaper to set them up from streaming feeds. (Basically BBC Radio 2 and Planet Rock - both of which are difficult (almost impossible) to tune to, reliably, now I have a Virgin Media TV360 box)</span></p>
