True that.  Mythtv, like the open source platform it is built on, should 
be promoted.  Don't forget it is beta software, hence the .16 release tag.

I foresee a day when mythtv is rock solid & many of the little 
annoyances are nailed down.  That would probably be mythtv 1.2.  Then, I 
would consider putting one together for my folks.  Don't forget, you can 
make it so you could ssh into the box - remotely.

At that point, I would like to try selling them too - with a service 
contract.
