</a><br></blockquote></div><br><br>Thanks Joe. My point exactly. Its not that we cannot afford $5. It is that MythTV is condidered a "play" project by the wife, thus aquiring a monthly subscription for a "play in the spare time" type of project is hard to negotiate. I am trying to convince her that I want to use this for the long haul. though at the same time myth has competition from the likes of xp media center which I already have on another machine and I dont have to pay for listings. Until I get her on board, I am currently at the tweaking/playing around stage.
<br><br>BTW Brett,<br>What does your wife think about your mythtv venture at this time? have you been using it long, or still semi new? If long time, how long before you got your wife fully onboard where she used it instead of going upstairs to another tv?
