To my mind new users won't start using MythTV if there are cheap (and
maybe easy to install) alternatives. For Example the WeTek OpenElec Box
(<100$) provides a dual tuner, runs Kodi and supports vdr or tvheadend as
backend on the same machine. According to the German magazine c't it's not
difficult to attach a hard disk.

And there seem to be more users using kodi as frontend.

So I think that without an easy to use Linux distribution there won't be
that much new MythTV users. But users that are already happy running
MythTV won't change the platform. It's a lot of configuration and scripting
to get all customized for the own needs. And these  users know why they run
MythTV: it has a lot of great features!

So thank you for providing MythTV and the ISOs!!!!! I would be sad if there
won't be new ISOs any more....
