I replied asking for more details but, not unsurprisingly, I think it got
lost in what, it as to be said, is a pretty busy mailing list. I figured
another attempt with a more obvious subject line might get more attention.

Done, now waiting to see what happens.

I'm comfortable with SQL but the GUI worked just fine this time, and I found
more setup info. I guess I though that the channel list was for display and
had never tried selecting one and pressing enter. A rather silly oversight.

Thanks to both you and Justin for your help. 

Now with two DVB cards, a PVR-250 and two MediaMVPs I think I'll sit back
and actually watch some of this stuff I've been recording :-)

Thanks

Mike
