I have a 100% working split program for both SA and DTivo...

Jewser,

Wow! That sounds really promising, and not to mention, very exciting! 
Way to go on this...

I would love to help out with this. What can I do to get started? I 
have 2 SATivo's here at my disposal, not to mention a DTivo, and 
nothing but time. :) (I work from my home-based office as a senior 
software engineer, and this is our slow time of the year. So, I have 
been playing with these streams, and different ideas for most of my 
days. heh heh)

I would love to assist on testing this! I'm excited to try this.. 
Please let us know when you are ready to go.

Great job Jewser! I look forward to working with you.
