Mark

Thanks for your smarmy and disdaining non contribution.

I have not had a pop at the devs, however have asked a perfectly
reasonable and fair question.

Given I have been running mythtv for nie on 10 years I'm fully aware
of the contribution and effort the devs undertake, although not a
coder myself (although I have hacked around and fixed stuff and
contributed many times on this list) I think it perfectly valid point
to raise that at the moment the screensaver functionality is not
working as desired and as there's another GPL program out there with
similar functionality it's a fixable problem.

Of course, as users we could all shut up and just take what we're
given.....but that wouldn't be terribly constructive now would it.

I hope the New Year brings you all that you deserve.

Regards
