Thanks for the kind suggestion.  But, personally, I really don't care 
that much about it.  I just had the AIW laying around and thought I'd 
use it if I could.  At present I don't particularly have to have a 
second tuner anyway, I'll pick one up later if my MythTV box works as 
well as I hope it will.

Thanks again!
