I've also been using MythTV for awhile; but I don't upgrade until
between TV seasons.  So I'm currently stuck on 0.19 until at least
May.  I have 0.19 running on my XBox (Xebian 1.0.3); and it's been
passable.

I was planning on upgrade to 0.20 over the summer, but maybe I should
hold off on going to 0.20 until the XBox gets replaced...  Anyone with
an XBox on 0.20 want to comment?
