I figured it would been discussed before, it's just that the info seems to be 
really accurate (for me anyway, I guess it depends on the broadcaster, and I 
could be just lucky). It consistently shows the right program, and has a 
little bit of play at the beginning and the end by including (part of) the 
commercials. It just looked so accurate I thought I'd ask :-)

And yup, have noticed the wealth of patches, am now waiting for my P1-133 
(running Gentoo! hehe) to extract the kernel sources (let alone compile!)

Cheers to all,
Dennis
