Hello,

As a UK user I record most of my TV from OTA using DVB-T/T2 EIT and I use 
MythTV every day. I use Mytharchive and occasionally Firefox browser on the 
same box as MythTV for BBC iplayer and Britbox.

Mythfrontend/backend user interface is fine as are the various themes.

Installing/upgrading can be an adventure! But having written down the steps 
after several clean installs/database restores I get there in the end.

Thanks for all the work involved in MythTV. If you could extend the number of 
hours in the day so I could catch up with all the recordings I have on MythTV 
that would be great.

Regards Steve.
