<div>No "supposedly" about it, his book <u>Hacking Mythtv</u> was released about a month ago. At first I shared your theory, but then I recalled that the book actually refers its readers to the site in order to eliminate redundancy in the two sources. This fact put a dent into my conspiracy theory.

<div>However, the book reads as if a lot of information came together in a somewhat hurried fashion -- which it probably did -- and that's typical of texts in the open source community. Perhaps in the rush there was some miscommunication between Jarod and his publisher regarding the site?
