[mythtvnz] Impressed with my HD setup

[Nick Rout]

I bought an HD Homerun from a list member who volunteered to sell it
after I posted a question about HD a few months ago.

I finally installed it over the weekend. The only gotcha was a
physical one, I only have a 4 port switch near the antenna plug, and
it was full (backend, frontend, TV, powerline adaptor which connects
to the other servers in the garage), so I had to unplug the TV from
the LAN and plug the HDHR into it's port on the switch. Bear in mind
this is not my permanent setup, eventually I will be back in our
house, once $insurance_company gets its act together.

I recorded 'Young Victoria' from TV1 last night and really enjoyed
watching in HD with surround sound. The HDHR seems to work well with
mythtv. Very easy to set up, all channels scanned.

A couple of minor idiosyncracies though, not that they really bothered
me - I just thought I'd mention them:

1. Both mythtv and hd_homerunconfig[_gui] found channels that I simply
cannot tune to in ChCh, eg TVRotorua and InforRotorua. If they are not
available to tune to on the ChCh multiplexes, why do they pop up in
the channel listings?

2. I found some odd channels like:

PROGRAM 1255: 705 Panasonic Blu_R (control); and
PROGRAM 1450: 600 MHEG IC Test Ch (control)

What are these about (this is curiosity only, not a myth critical thing!)
