I'm all for programs like this and I wish the system luck. I signed up last night bust have a problem. The Lineup Management Site was down when I signed up so I pasted the cert code in a sticky note on my desktop. Well I don't know what happended but the sticky is gone now, and I have lost my Cert Code. I double check the reciept emailed to me, and it has no record of the cert code. How can I get this code again? Also other then the ideas @ email address on the the lxmedia site, there is no contact info at all. This is BAD. I don't like emailing the mythtv list and including issues that are only for customer service. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
