>> Glad you could reproduce it and can see the benefits of no intro DVDs. I hate having to wait to see the menu. I hadn't tried to work around it with a shorter intro. FWIW, I fixed this for myself years ago, but I was always a release or two too far behind to share it. Finally, I've got a new machine that I'm prepping to replace my current master backend and doesn't need to be pressed into service yet, so I can afford to iron out any kinks with the latest mythtv release.

I still haven't merged in some of the recent patches that have been committed but I don't expect to use. In general it's good to have patches committed but if you're running a non-standard system too much external movement can bring problems too.

Sounds good, I'll keep my personal tweaks to myself, only reporting things I can argue are bugs.
