See the attached email, I previously sent it to myth-users. Perhaps
the wrong mailing list (I got no responses), so I have attached it
here.

In the past I have been told that I have encountered problems because
I have a weak signal, I find this unlikely due to my relatively close
in proximity to the transmitting towers and the fact I get very good
analog signals (even channel 31 is good quality). I also have a
dedicated antenna for each input card too.

Yes it is. Melbourne. Normally there is nothing of interest, but on
Friday 1pm to 2pm there is Agatha Christie's Poirot (found from TV
guide at yahoo). At one stage, I use to get a soap opera on another
channel instead, but now I record Inspector Morse at the same time (on
DVB) and it works (on analog).

I think both these options would prevent me using it.
