I agree entirely with Brad. I want to know about the bluetooth remote  
stuff, but the whiney voiceover was just SO annoying - I've seen this  
kind of video from FOSS advocates before, and it just brings the  
words "socially retarded" to mind.

I think you're being more than a little unfair to The Comic Book Guy,  
Phil.

Anyhow:

In the unlikely event you've been reading my posts closely, I'm yet a  
talker, no a doer, on the MythTV front.

(My excuse: I bought a Nintendo in December and for the first time  
ever, a TV (secondhand). I got interested in MythTV & decided to  
upgrade to a set with DVI or HDMI input before proceeding. That  
arrived last week, so I should be good to go on the MythTV build in  
the next couple of weeks).

So I was really impressed with MythTV from the video - I thought the  
OSDs were FANTASTIC. But I noticed that they were in colour - does  
this indicate that he has a 5000-series nVidia card, or does the  
black & white OSD of later nVidia cards manifest itself in some other  
menus?

Stroller.
