Why do you think I quoted that. Here the broadcasting standard is
still mpeg2. Commercial and non-commercial. And I don't see it
changing in the near future. To much cost in replacing hardware.
And to quote Mike 'every Standard Definition digital TV broadcast in
the UK' Followed by Tom's remark about '... who is this non MythTV
user ...'!?!?

It just sometimes gets annoying, you from across the pond, thinking
you are the world (standard)!
