When Gavin Hurlbut last year solicited interest in that little HD-PVR<br>
power-cycling gadget, he almost immediately took further discussion<br>
off the list and created another for it. (I bought one.) I doubt the<br>
developers would have objected to Robert similarly making a one-time<br>
announcement that pointed those interested in more information to a<br>
Torc Website or mailing list or forum. Instead, he stated:<br>
<div class="im"><br></div></blockquote><div><br>I didn't know about the hdpvr power gadget until yesterday. Had I known last year, I would have bought a couple then and would have been providing a better user experience to my family (which would result in more funding, it's all politics you know!). We all spend money running mythtv one way or another.<br>
<br>My point is that some conversations around paid products/services are beneficial to users. Perhaps a single page on the wiki with simple links to vendor sites would be a way for users to see what is available without violating mailing list rules.<br>
