You asked if an AIW would work, even after seeing a very specific statement on 
the MythTV site saying they don't. Yes, you found reports about TV Wonder 
cards working, but they're irrelevant when you're talking about an AIW. This 
question has been asked on the list over and over again, and the answer is 
always no, an AIW won't work. I even recall seeing technical details on why 
that is the case, both on the list and on the web.

The "You're a schmuck" treatment, as you call it, stems from a lack of 
patience on the part of people fed up over rehashing the same repeated 
questions that have already been answered. Nobody is here to hold your hand, 
nobody has to be polite, nobody is required to answer your beckon call, but 
generally, everyone is very cordial and helpful. However, when you ask the 
list something that has already been beaten like a dead horse, don't expect 
warm fuzzies. At least you got an answer, and from several people to boot.

This is highly recommended reading:
