[mythtvnz] DVB-T signal strength and CPU usage

[Hayden Lovett]

Get Sky UHF installed for around $30, they don't force you to sign up to any
contract like sky Digital and if you cancel the day after you get up and
running you will only be charged for 1 month.
This means you get sky for 1 month and a shiny new aerial professionally
installed and you only have to pay $30 for installation and 1 months worth
of sky which is about $35!  I might be a little off with my pricing but I
did do this in January and it cost me about $70.  It runs me digital signal
nicely.  Thanks sky ;)
