Can someone point me at information as to what the story is on DVB-T here? 
Particularly with reference to Linux compatible kit. I know there has 
been some mention of it before, but I never followed it up.

Is Chorus doing something different? We're currently on the analogue 
cable, but when I asked about the digital option, they were making 
antenna type noises. Ultimately I want some sort of solution which allows 
me to do what I do at the moment on analogue, namely watch one thing and 
record another.
