The mailer cut half my mail off, as I put a single dot on a line, so here it is
again:

Thanks to John and Jesper for the prompt reply. I tried that, and things looks
a
little different.

I do this on one screen and leave it running:
tzap -a 0 -r "BBC ONE"

reading channels from file '/root/.tzap/channels.conf'

etc, etc


and this on another one:
