Since I am only interested in local broadcast, about 5 channels, it 
doesn't seem worth it to subscribe to Schedules Direct - unless it is 
required for programmed recordings.

The good news is I can set up both DVB and Analogue capture cards 
indivdually and get all the local channels by scanning.  The bad news is 
can't set them up together. To get DVB to work I have to delete the 
Analogue capture card and visa versa. If you know how to set them up 
together, please let me know.  I could not get it from the HOWTO.

Thanks for your help
Mike
