It would also be nice to be able to have 2 zap2it listing and be able
to tell Myth driectly which channels specific tuners receiver. Right
now I have 3 tuners all tuning to Comcast but since one is an HD3000
with only HD channels, the other an HD cable box with 5C on many
channels, and one cablebox through a PVR-150 I require 3 zap2it
accounts I'd much rather have one listing and tell Myth which channels
each tuner recieved, but I don't know how to write it, so I'll just
throw the idea out there....
