	The DVB-T card has been one of my favourite additions to this Linux box 
apart from my BT dongle.  The picture and sound quality are fantastic! 
And it's quite neat watching / recording multiple channels at the same 
time, for example Independence Day and Little Voice this evening :o) 
The 2002-Oct-10 DVB CVS has been working very sweetly for me and I am 
currently kindling a worrying QVC addiction -- damn them and their damn 
micro fibre towels!

	Never tried pumping MPlayer via my TV out as yet (not owning a TV playing 
some role in this), however do I control my viewing experience from bed 
with BT enabled PDA and some scripted Perl webpages >:o)

Anyway, time to catch up on today's Neighbours (at least it's not "Fame 
Academy")...

Happy New Year Everyone!
