Well, I can't imagine there ever being more than 1 programme on Freeview that I'd want to see, so the whole point is fairly moot ;) Seriously though, I would run with "tune and be damned"... do you have 2 cards? Just wondered if you'd done any tests re: signal strength if the two are tuned to the same freq. Anything that causes tuning to be faster is a bonus esp for 'zapping' where the logical channel order will be spread across multiple muxes.. <initial tuning> BBC1, BBC2 <change mux> ITV, C4, <change mux> C5, <change mux> BBC NEWS, <change mux> BBC THREE, BBC FOUR, etc. If we drop the frequency bending, channel zapping should be a much more pleasant experience =) One of the most annoying thing about the Sky Digibox is the time taken to change channels.. it might be only a second, but it's still a pain in the back side when you multiply that by the hundreds of channels on offer, compounded by the fact you'll decide whether or not to watch that channel within a second =) So, for the perfect STB, fast channel changes takes priority =) gdh -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
