That system just streams 4 channels constantly... but playing with a 
2 encoder card MythTV setup, it will just pick the available card.

Sad that they rely on broadcast/cable programming that much, 
and yet are unable to record it manually. Although I have to admit
the Discovery-type channels and programs are good, they also rarely go 
deep enough to satisfy me.. hopefully the teachers can add to it.
