Sorry, can't remember ! I don't have a working front end on the TV 
yet, so I don't use Myth all that much (laptop isn't good for 
watching TV).

IIRC it's not been too bad on ITV4 (Auf Wiedersehen Pet), but it's 
pretty lousy on Virgin1 (Chuck). Of course, it fails miserably for 
Tarrant on TV - which is not surprising :-)

I suspect having a 5 minute advance start doesn't help - it sometimes 
seems to get the start and end of breaks the wrong way round. I 
haven't even looked at the settings available for it.
