Well, presumably he has a machine on which he'd like to run Myth in some 
capacity, but is unable to have it be a dedicated appliance.  Perhaps 
it's a desktop machine that he doesn't have full control over.  
Whatever the reason, he's not starting at the wrong end; it's just that 
there may be more than just "PVR" on the "Functionality" end of the 
equation.
