sorry about that
i've seen enough emails on this list from issac where he lambasted people for 
cc'ing him directly as well as sending to the list. it has sort of become a 
habit of mine to just send to the list. yes; i was directing this at you. :-)

i realise the referene to "owner" was perhaps shorthand which was just a 
little too short.

this has me puzzled as i'm pretty sure that my frontend used the remote 
backend for live-tv. i'd just set it up and was just playing around.

as for running them separately. this is what i was doing. up and until my tv 
listings source went away (boo hoo) making myth slighly less useful.

thanks for the response. i will have another look at what is going on.
