Even though I don't have any program guide info today I can still watch and record with MythTV. Around 4:15 I recorded a part of a '60s western on one of the non-HD channels. Later on I played it back. Nice and clear. Around 5:00 I decided to see if the Ohio State/Northwestern game would come in choppy on the HD channel. Nice and clear. Later on I'll try recording a segment of it and see how it looks played back. What I'm wondering is if I'm getting a clearer signal today than I got a couple of weeks ago. It's a nice clear day (weather-wise) today. I don't recall what the weather was like when I tried looking at an HD channel before. More experimenting. Interesting side note: I have cable going to the TV in the living room, and I'm getting the non-HD version of channel 2. I tuned the game on that TV and also on the Myth box. There is a delay of several seconds (5? 10?) between the two. Strange. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
