<DIV><SPAN class=701351213-09112003><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hey all, I just had
some questions about MythTV and what it can do before I install it. Currently I
am using MyHTPC for my htpc in my living room, but I am am running into video
playback problems and generally just sick of windows its self.The video problems
I am having is that I can't playback xvid encoded videos. And its not a hardware
issue cause I can play the videos back fine with xine under mandrake 9.1. So I
figured I would check MythTv out. Here is what I would like to do with
MythTv...</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
