yes, but setting up a mythtv system needs real time access to a mythtv guru, 
and a couple of days to build everything.  The guru I have, but he has 
limited time too.

One proggy I watched last night claimed to be 1920x1050 or some such figure.  
And it did miss-fire occasionally since its a good 70 air miles to the 
transmitter and WV's topology is vertical.  Its been said from more than one 
podium that if WV was stomped out flat, it would be the biggest state in the 
union.
