In my case we still have some Analogue broadcast stuff around for a year 
or so yet and I also have some local Analogue RF sources. I will shortly 
be starting to use the S-Video input linked to my Virgin Cable box and 
the RF input will get less and less usage. Thanks for the tip. To be 
fair my primary source is DVB-T but there is still a lot of Analogue around.

In my testing with the PVR-350 on 0.23 I have found that the scan for 
channels in MythSetup for an analogue source is non-functional (function 
removed or a bug?), but if I manually configure the analogue channels 
they work. And in colour.

Thanks

Ken
