That may be true, but something changed after 0.24, because I saw the
decrease in commflag quality immediately after upgrading to 0.26, using the
same capture card & cable boxes. Is there a way to run mythcommflag from
0.24 on a 0.27 system, or has the relevant schema changed? Because I can
probably dig up an old 0.24 ebuild and compile it, but I'm not set up to
install a complete 0.24 system.
