D1 is launching on Sept19, isn't it? Anyone know when TVNZ/CanWest start 
broadcasting on it?

And does the Myth DVB code for the upcoming .20 release handle DVB-S 
trouble better at all? Because this doesn't seem terribly error-tolerant. 
The annoying part is that the Skybox handles these errors better than my 
Mythbox.

R5C7. And it is only crashing during DVB-S recordings -- I can tell by the 
multiple entries for the one showing for a few episodes on TV1-2, and the 
single entries for TV3 shows.

Also, just so people know -- R5C7 doesn't seem to run logrotate in cron at 
all. I've got 50 and 70MB logs for sql and myth... yeesh. The next biggest 
config file is the commercial marklist db table.
