You know, when I first set up my MythTV system, I looked on the wiki,  
looked through my option of video capture hardware, and picked one  
from the list and I feel anyone/everyone else can do the same. It  
wasn't difficult, it just took about half an hour making sure I had  
all the information and made a decision.

Furthermore, insulting me is more of a reflection on you than me.  
Doing it in public is a waste of bandwidth.
