At best I would want this to be a flagged option as your concerns are
well warranted!
But DVR-MS ability could save the life of MythTV. When the CableCard
Digital media adapters are available for Vista I fear the outlook for
MythTV is grim!

After a year of searching, I have yet to find any tools that will let me edit and burn video in that format or convert reliably to a format I can work with, and MCE has even made my usual video tools (WinTV2000, Roxio 7.5 and 8.0, etc) fail when trying to use the PVR-150 MCE that came in the box.
