[mythtv-users] Broadcast Flag Article mentions MythTV and quotes Issac

[Pete Stagman]

Hi Everyone,

I'm in contact with a reporter from techtarget as I'm writing this.
www.techtarget.com
They may be interested in doing a story on MythTV and the broadcast
flag. (After I dropped a dime of course). Don't know if this will
actually fly, but I'm giving it a shot.

Is anyone interested in being interviewed? I'd love to have them talk
to Isaac of course. Maybe Jarod?

It'd be real nice to have them on our side.

--Pete
