I've been using MythTV since it replaced a TiVo some eight years ago.

My main criticism is that the frontend no longer plays HD content 
fluidly on my RaspberryPi 3, and so I now use a Kodi frontend with the 
MythTV backend. If the frontend played HD content better, then I would 
ditch Kodi again.

I have minor issues with things like internet radio being very flaky to 
set up and use.

I don't intend to use paid-for streaming services or the like.

Regards

Jeff
