    I hadn't even thought of MythTV recordings originally.

    I was mainly thinking about my still and video camera and the various 
things I have accumulated over the years. The inlaws also have their own
camera and collection of old home movies.

    Mine are all tagged and bagged and sorted via MythTV.

    The Olds are pretty much out of luck.
