<RANT><br></blockquote></div><br><br>Really? I found it quite simple to set up. Part of that, in my case, is that I'm using ATSC, not cable. Comcast seems to go out of their way to make life difficult for people that aren't using one of their boxes. I told it what tuner I have, did a channel scan, and off to the races. Really, the TV recording config for the backend was the simplest part for me to set up.<br>
<br>I agree that the docs could use improvements, but most of the things you complained about sound to me like they fall on Comcast, not Myth. Myth simply doesn't have the necessary data to map the channels properly, so various people have tried to hack around the problem. My wife still misses a couple cable shows, but we just get them on DVD. That seems to make her happy and we save a lot of money. I'd be willing to pay for Comcast if they worked properly with Myth, but as they refuse to be reasonable, I see no reason to keep paying them $100/mo. <br>
<br>The SD/HD thing is an area I can see people being irritated, but it seems to me that adding the code to deal with it takes devs away from more important matters for something that will have very limited usefulness. As HD capable FE machines drop below $200 and SD phases out, it doesn't make much sense to me to spend the time on it. I see not wanting to buy new hardware, but it's not like we didn't all have fair warning that the DTV changeover and HDTV were coming. <br>
