I had a question on this part. Your mail implies it will not be
possible to use zap2it with a DVB card. am I understanding this
correctly? zap2it has a beneift of going out 12/13 days, which is
longer than the guides in most DVB streams as I understand it, and I
don't think it is a great idea to remove the capability of using
zap2it data in place of the guide-data in the stream. Or am I
misreading your mail?
