[mythtv-users] IP TV support on the agenda?

[Dean Collins]

Yep I saw the Time Warner trial document, nice (and unexpected) option.
SBC have an interesting offering about to be released that will also
allow you to watch what you have saved to your set top box from a remote
location (eg watch from your office what you saved last night).

Cheers,
Dean
