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.
