[mythtvnz] DVB and a 150 coexisting

Solved this. I was using Myth's EIT function, gave up on that and switched 
to tv_grab_dvb, with Wade's scripting to get 12 hours difference. I'm still 
not 100% certain of it (no dvbstream on KM, so I'm using the backend's dvb 
antics).

Gave up on this. I can stand no channel 3 for a few months, until FreeView 
eventuates. So I'm running purely on the two Skystar2s either until my 
fingers get twitchy or I run into too many recording conflicts. Whenever I 
set digital and analog to the same chanid and callsign, the digital turned 
to complete static.

Given up on this for the time being. I might turn it over to my little 
brother, who can stand boring stuff (like fixing ID3 tags for 30G of music) 
better than I can.

>- Samba -- it doesn't seem to run automatically at boot, and the command 
>to make it do that doesn't spring to mind.

Fixed! Toby, the Webmin link solved this for me.

One surprising point of interest was the Gallery thing -- Dad takes digital 
photos, and was pleasantly surprised and highly interested in this part. 
MythVideo was interesting insofar as watching my Children of Dune ogm's and 
not-here-yet US SG1-Atlantis episodes.
