Pretty much the same response, with some added personal response:<br>
<br>
Good potential, great piece of potential to bring Linux closer to<br>
"mainstream". IMHO no way it compares to Standalone MythTV
due to <br>
it's bulkiness. I purchased both hardware it's "supposed"
to work on,<br>
and hardware that other's have "tweaked" it to work on, and neither
is<br>
a cut and dry installation/setup from the point of a novice. I am <br>
quite comfortable with Linux and still had a good share of problems<br>
that are considerably difficult to work around. Without a good<br>
knowledge of how the core functionality (the DCERouter) works,<br>
ultimately you are in the hands of the community (which is growing <br>
quickly, but is still relatively infant).<br>
<br>
So, effort, looks and potential = 10<br>
Usability, current-stability = 4<br>
Learning curve is WAY to high (along with the stability issues) for me<br>
to consider it as a home automation option right now. MisterHouse is
<br>
far more stable and reliable as well as easy-to-setup/easy-to-use and<br>
as such a much more "desirable" solution for me.<br>
<br>
All of that with a tiny grain of salt...<br>
