Thanks Trey,

I may try and grab half an hour to test it out first, but I feel more

Sounds great! Something else I can't wait to set up. MythTV is a big 
projct! I love it. Just wish I'd got the time I had when I was young, 
free, single, kidless and vaguely looking for a job when there was time 
to do such things :-)
