[mythtv-users] Not using both tuners to full effect?

[David Whyte]

okies, I have done it :D  It required a change to the
program_detail.php page of the default theme, which is found under
mythweb/themes/Default/program_detail.php

what was...

<td><input type="input" name="startoffset" size="1" value="<?php echo
htmlentities($this_program->startoffset) ?>"></td>

...became...

<td><input type="input" name="startoffset" size="1" value="<?php if
(htmlentities($this_program->startoffset) > 0) { echo
htmlentities($this_program->startoffset); } else { echo '2'; }
?>"></td>

...for the start offset value.  Identical for the endoffset value.

I guess for this to work in all themes, this logic should be lifted up
into the object model, but I don't know much about that and I a happy
with this fix for now so it will do.

Attached is the new file for those that might care.  

Dave - doing his first bit of Open Source coding :D
