I see some people saying they have stability issues with
Myth which I'm sure they are not lying about.  I on the
other hand have not.  My server (frontend/backend in the
basement) has been running for months and the backend
hasn't died once since upgrading to 0.11.  Previously I did
have a problem where the backend would hang once every week
or two (just the backend...server stayed up).  I use a
frontend on another machine (upstairs) with TV-out via a
Geforce5200 and a Packard bell serial reciever w/Hauppauge
remote control.  This works great.  Commercial skip works
flawless or useless though... depends on the channel.

Version 0.14 seems to have some more polish I have to say.
 I do like the status screen and the splitting of things by
day instead of lumping together.

Good job... I vote for 1.0 myself... but I thought 0.11 was
a good candidate too.  Since this isn't a democracy though
I will sit back down so the dictators don't block my IP for
speaking out.  Just kidding of course.
