<div>Well, I tried out BeyondTV for a week or so, and I have to say... "NOT GONNA DO IT! WOULDN'T BE PRUDENT!"</div>
<div>We just love the features Myth has! :)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The one thing is that really bothering the wife, is that on bootup, two copies of the Frontend are starting up, one on top of the other. So, sometimes one of them is playing a video, and somehow the window switches, and the other one is playing, all while the backend is recording, and the system grinds to a non-workable slowness. So, she just hits the reset button (OUCH!), which starts clean, but there are still two copies of the frontend running...

<div>I am autologging on as mythtv, and this is in my .kde/Autostart/myth-load.sh</div>

<p>#!/bin/bash</p>

<div>This appeared (or more accurately, I screwed this up), when at the same time, I lost a BUNCH of menu items from the "Start" menu. Things like Administration, Utilities, Control Center, etc... are all gone! Also, some how the "Process Table" also starts up automatically.

<div>What could I have done that fubarred this?</div>
