It's the way the database itself is defined. If everything for a
specific slave server had specific IDs then it could be a simple
process.

No matter, I'll spend the time this weekend and see if I can get it
going again.

Frankly, I'm about ready, after 4 years, to dump Myth and give up on
home recording for the next year or two. The whole switch to digital
has already cost me $300 and none of it works. The instructions for
setting this stuff up aren't mature yet and I feel I'm wasting time
and money. It's not Myth's fault that we're forced into the digital
switch, but I feel we could somehow do a much better job of defining
how to set up a completely digital system from scratch as that's what
folks in the U.S. anyway will have to do in 12 months when cable
systems completely drop analog.

Thanks,
Mark
