Strange, given that Myth users would, I suspect, want such devices so
they can record content from their own cable subscriptions, which
seems to be the exact opposite of what a pirate would do.  After all,
if I was just one of these pirates, wouldn't I just download the
content?

Or are you suggesting that people believe Myth users are part of a
global cabal to illegally distribute HD-quality broadcasts to the
public?

Brett.
