Actually, I probably did read your post.  I said that I "see very few
owners saying that they are leaving Replay for another DVR", not that there
were none.

You have to admit though, that the percentage of people with problems like
yours (at least on that forum) is extremely small compared to the number of
people who say the like the unit.

TIVO has features which the Replays lack.  Replays have feature which Myth
lacks.  Myth has feature which TIVOs lack.  Round and round and round.

Being able to easily use big hard drives is one of the primary reasons I
decided to give Myth a try.  I decided I wanted an HD DVR, and the only
economical way to pull that off, was Myth.
