[mythtv] Anyone Selling MythTV PVRs?

[Jamie Richard]

You have to remember that MythTV is expandable and upgradeable according to
your needs if you have the knowledge.  This makes MythTV more useful,
espically since you can use your MythTV box for Music, DVD, Weather, Images,
Games, etc.  I would like to see a Media Player added to myth so I could NFS
to my Movies Partition on my windows box and watch my SmR Movies on my TV, I
would also like to see a DVD module using XINE..  I am just a hardware guy..
I am lucky I could install Myth and get it running, but now that it is.. It
was worth it.
