How interesting...

1. If you don't want to try it, then don't. Nobody's forcing you to.

2. there are hundreds, maybe thousands of us who have no problems at all with it.

3. It IS "beta". You're not paying for it, and it hasn't even reached version 1.0 yet.

I definitely do not feel that MythTV is "more problems that it's worth" and my FE/BE machine 
has been running non-stop for months. In fact it runs continually and I take it offline only to do 
upgrades to hardware, and occasionally upgrades to the software.

Uhmm... tell me: What software do you think provides a better solution?
