[mythtv-users] uc:Time restricted broadcast DVB problem E.g abc1 This mail is un classified

[Christopher McEwan]

Hi, 

Yes it is a pain when that happens, as far as I am aware, a lot of
work is being done to fix these problems and bring in a lot of new DVB
features.

The problem is not restricted to the Nova-T. 


PS. The developers are doing a brilliant job.. kudos to them !
