[mythtv-users] New/Split the MythTV list for forbidden topics

The XMLTV list should suffice for this.  That is, after all, it's raison
d'etre.

2. CSS decrypting to allow playing of commercial DVD's (probably not legal -

This is already covered in many *many* places.  The Xine and mplayer mailing
lists immediately come to mind, and I know there are many others (after all,
I got DVD playback working on my system without posting a single question to
this mailing list).  Google is your friend.  Use it.

3. SASC-NG decrypting of satellite signals (Even if just to get EIT data, or

Are you saying there aren't already mailing lists or forums which cover this
topic elsewhere?

I ask all this because people seem to want a single place to go to discuss
various topics, even those that are only peripherally related to Myth, which
is very strange to me.  If there are already forums/mailing lists which
cover these topics, populated by people who are very familiar with them, why
would you want to create a new list, rather than just utilizing those
resources?

Brett.
