[mythtv-users] New to the whole DirecTV thang.

Hey, why not? it would have a limited scope, no doubt, but it seems like a 
good idea. Perhaps asking Nathan Z. to devote a section of his site to 
user-submitted pictures might not be a bad idea, since he's already 
basically running a "what myth will look like in the future" site..

Hehehe. Touchy..

There aren't really many new "features" per se. But more and more is being 
"themed". I suggest grabbing the default theme's ui.xml, copying your 
theme's graphics into it, and playing from there.. You'll need to make a 
bunch of new graphics, such as for the conflicts and things, but it 
shouldn't bee *too* hard..
