[Eric Yanush]

Hi,

Thanks for the insight. For the record I wasn't looking to decode the  
stream, just wondering if there was something that I had done wrong.
I will look into capturing that stream via my pvr-150.

Thanks again,

Eric
PS: If you want I have the M3U file for the Regina Channels with the  
Schedules Direct xmltvid's rather than the mc2xml if you want to add  
it to the wiki
