Mark,

I guess I had not seen the latest incarnation of the pvr database. All I
can say is ... wow. Talk about a change. Last time I looked at it (if
this is the same pvr hardware database site I am thinking if), it was
one table about 3 pages long with about 5 times too much granular
information. This is absolutely fantastic. Consider my offer of a php
write officially retracted. =)

Thanks for all your hard work in compiling and maintaining this site.
(this'll teach me to refresh my browser!)

Cheers,

Scott

Well that is the idea of the PVR Hardware database :) I'm open to 
suggestions on how to make it better?
