I called them to fact check before I posted here -- received a friendly
person on the line. He wanted to talk with me about the product longer
than I did. <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 4/6/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Brian Wood</b> <<a href="mailto:beww@beww.org">beww@beww.org</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Well I might risk $450 for the "smaller feature set". Going to look into it at least. </blockquote><div><br> The smaller featured one might make a good frontend, but looks like it doesn't include tuners.<br></div>

and if their "guide" service includes a cost then it is just another
TiVo. My interest would be in the hardware alone I suspect, and I need
a lot more info, for example VIA makes a lot of chips, precisely which
one of them are they using ? </div><div><br></div><div>As I said I

would it include some monthly charge as well ?? I don't know what their
business model is but you can bet it is not to provide Myth hardware
