a new thread about it could be very interesting. i'm quite a little
interested in it. could you please post the steps and the scripts in a
fresh  thread when you'll have some spare time?! thanks very much. it should
be you to start the thread on this argument.

now i've just found out the dvb-t device for watching the european
championships with native linux inkernel support.

and thanks again for your hints. i'm little by little learning more and more
about various things after listening to them. it seems that you're
knowledgeable about a lot of different stuff.
