Hi Again,<br><br>As I grew up in a windows world, it took me 2 years off and on to get the first Mythbox up and running. the key was switching to Digital tv cards. i could not get the winfast tv2000 to set up. But now i use this to get the vcrs across.
<br><br>The key WAF's for me were<br><br>1. once she setup the recording for Desperate Housewives it recorded it even if she forgot. (have to remind her that she no longer need to remember to do it)<br><br>2. Videos were a big one. once i got those loaded, she loved it. I loaded up all here Audery Hepburn movies in secret and surprised her.
<br><br>3. Mythgame. She loves this. <br><br>4 .Mythrecpie. this is not production yet. but she has seen it and loves the idea.<br><br><br>Now if i could only get a chat client in myth i could have all the money i wanted.
