</div>i've been running it for almost exactly 1 year - i've seen a few useful changes.<br>
i do have a few minor quibbles with certain mythtv features (internet<br>
tv; iplayer etc), but since i barely use them, i can quite happily<br>
rely on connecting laptop to my tv for the two times a year i'd<br>
actually use it.<br>
<div class="im"><br>

<br>
</div>...or Sky HD :P pretty hidous layout, speed and interface compared to<br>
myth (or any PC based DVR really). this was actually one of the many<br>
factors of why i left Sky for mythtv and FreeSAT tuners.<br>
the Virgin UI looks better, but cant say about it's actual performance.<br>
<br>
to be honest, i couldnt care what it's called, aslong as it works.<br>
could this be a response to ubuntuTV - mythtv on a diet with the aim<br>
to use/support it on TV's and/or rasberryPI type devices? (presuming<br>
mythtv wont already run on these devices)<br>
<br>
if what others have mentioned is true; that the mythtv development<br>
cycle is too complex and not dynamic or adaptable enough, then surely<br>
the devs can change this as they are the ones that set the milestones?<br>
as always, 2 sides to the coin. some like slower releases and others<br>
like lots of updates with new features more regulary.<br>
<br>
i dont know; since i started using mythtv 12 months ago, theres been 4<br>
releases i've used; 0.23, 0.24, 0.24.1 and 0.24.2 (BE updated today,<br>
FE will be updated over the weekend). i'd say thats not too bad a<br>
release timescale, as they have always been stable and reliable.<br>
