</span>I share your concerns, which is really I think what prompted John to<br>
pose the question to the community (John, thanks for taking the time<br>
to do such, btw). Let's face it - if there are fifty guys in the<br>
whole world using MythTV with their HDPVR and who would consider<br>
upgrading to the HDPVR2, then this initiative would be a waste of<br>
time. Without any objective measures though for how large the user<br>
base is, how many of them are using HDPVRs, what percentage of them<br>
might consider upgrading to an HDPVR2, and what subset of those would<br>
actually pay some actual money for software that would allow them to<br>
do such, it's hard to gauge how much time/effort this is worth. We've<br>
seen the smolt numbers, and I'm hoping to find out the user base is<br>
considerably larger than that.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Having just recently cut the cord on cable (I have two non-working HD-PVR's, so I couldn't record anything, and we don't watch 'live tv') this news would have been good about a month ago. Having said that, I wouldn't be against helping fund this, as once the NHL gears up, I may re-up my cable for that. Yes, I will have access to GCL (the NHL streaming solution, like MLB live) but I can't record that, and teaching my family how to use the ChromeCast may not be worthwhile. I know, it's dead simple, but as soon as it doesn't work perfectly, I get grief from them. So, count me in for interest and funding.</div><div><br></div><div>Tom</div></div></div></div>
