Not tried yet -- only just got the Nova-t card this morning, but how hard
can it be? :)
I've started by installing the latest linux-tv-dvd driver, dvbtune 0.3
and dvbstream 0.4.pre2. Am I heading in the right direction here? Is
there and kind of DVB-T HOW-TO type document around anywhere, or do I
just have to work it out as I go along?

Please. I should apparently be able to get some channels from
Crystal Palace and some from Hannington.

Filling the table by hand shouldn't be a problem.

Sure, I'll try it out if you like.

I'll help wherever I can. A three-week-old baby does mean that I'm
fairly short of spare time right now, but I'm trying to make time to
play with mythtv whenever I can.
