[mythtv] Hosting Space for MythTV stuff

When I first saw the mythTV website, I felt that what it needed was a "sleek" website.. What I've realized since is that MythTV's current website is much more ideal.. Instead of something convoluted, it simply has the relevant information in a simple, no-nonsense view.

Many projects are setup such that the best thing about them is their site.. I commend the powers that be in this case for not wishing to go in that direction.. I think the "beautiful" website (which will eventually be needed) should come when mythTV is more publically presentable and more easily used by the "masses".. 

Just my 782 241 027 pesos
