Someone made a statement that mythtv is completely legal, which is my<br>

(eg, as I understand it it was technically illegal in the UK up until the amendments made in the communications act of 2003; however this just made something that was previously unenforcable explicitly legal.)<br>
<br>It is however possible that there are areas of the planet where time shifting of any kind is illegal, and in this case use of myth would be illegal.<br><br>(I am not a lawyer however. ;) )<br><br>Ian<br><br></div></div>
