I brought up the "per channel" config screen, but did not see it
there.  I will look again.

I can see how this stuff could be very useful.

I am just fortunate enough to live in a place which sticks to it's
reported schedule 99% of the time.  On the other hand, my local
stations are not very careful to make sure the over-the-air guide they
send out is accurate.  For example, "Da Vinci's Inquest" is shown by
one of my stations around midnight.  The over-the-air guide that came
across changed that to "off air", so Myth would not have recorded it.

Thanks for the info.
