While reading the story on Slashdot today about the Telly Linux PVR, I 
came across this comment: 
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=71232&cid=6449199
	"MythTV looks like a good start, but the effort required to get
it 
working is significant, and it doesn't do anything BUT
timeshift and 
record. It can't playback your DVD, VCDs, SVCDs,
or Divx CDs, it 
can't save your recorded shows to CD/DVD, it 			can't
playback music or 
display images, etc... "

I think this comment reflects the difficulty in finding a complete 
feature list.  The "Features and Screenshots" web page needs to be 
updated to more clearly communicate all of the features of MythTV.  It 
might be best to separate the screenshots from the features. Important 
features like the ability to skip commercials, auto-deletion of shows, 
and translation into other languages aren't even mentioned.  If all of 
the features and abilities were listed, a lot of people might be 
surprised by the progess of the project.

Isaac, would you like a mock-up of changes or how should users 
contribute to the website content?

Thanks,
Jarrod
