[mythtv-users] Re: Seeking help with XBox+Myth+XMBC

Casey,

  Thanks for the info.  Regarding the XBMC builds, I noticed on xbins that
there was a recent build that was ~14Mb and a slightly older build that was
~43Mb.  What's up with that?!?  I didn't see any difference in the release
notes but at 3 times the size, there must be a difference?!?
