Bad drivers for the hardware means a crappy experience for the users. <br>
<br>
I am not complaining about Myth, I love the flexibility and power.<br>
<br>
My main problem is with the idiots at Haupppage that release a
significantly different card under the same model number. If it
is not software compatable, it should be a new product.<br>
<br>
But I do have complaints about myth. It is a pain to setup.
I bet the commerical products hold your hand. Even knoppix took
me a few nights working to get a usable box. The install/setup
could be significantly improved, even on knoppmyth.<br>
<br>
I just thought maybe someone that has run both MythTV and Sage/beyond
could compare /contrast the two, and I saw at least one useful post so
far.<br>
