[mythtv] Anyone Selling MythTV PVRs?

[Alex Davidson]

I completely agree on the support issue - it's definitely something to be
considered prior to doing it for real which is why I'm interested in hearing
from anyone who is doing it already or may be considering it.  I think there
is a place for it if you can do it right.

As far as the Zap2It thing - I know nothing about what happened, but
presumably it was overcome- what was the deal?
