I think Myth has HD recording in the works, but I'm not sure. Digital cable is fine. We have it and it always records it. Robyn Nick McClure wrote: >Is there an independent one that will record Digital cable and HD? > > > >>-Original Message- >>From: R

I used to grind and clench my teeth badly and I'd wake up with a really sore jaw and a headache. So I got a sports mouthguard, and that really did the trick. If anything, it made it less convenient to bite hard, and I stopped grinding/clenching. Sometimes I'd wake up and it'd have fallen out,
