[mythtvnz] Going cold turkey (was: MythTV upgrade, bleeding code, ready for tester)

[Barry Clearwater]

I agree with the paradigm, but there are two clear instances that interrupt
my "perfect" world:
miss 4yr old, watching Kidzone on 6, when Myth is being used as a virtual
baby sitter (Sigh)
Live netball, though now we tend to press record and jump into the
recordings, coming up to date with ffwd in the ads.

So really - just on the advert free channels when blobbing out!
