[mythtv-users] commercial "entertainment PCs"

[Micha]

I also like the idea, but from a little other view i guess...

1. I like the idea to help people not so familiar with pcs
2. When i take a look at the situation in germany there only is the MCE
possibility to get a "out of the box" HTPC
3. It would be a great idea to donate the creaters of mythtv in such a
way...

Problems i see
1. How and who should build a structure...
    There is the regional problem (countries ...)
    What about Marketing, Logistics,...
    Management of e.g. Hardware Components to ensure ONE standart (if not i
guess that hole project will loose his
    sincerity)
2. Is it in the mind of the developers and every supporter out there to use
their ideas and their efforts to earn money ?

Well as u can see i thought about it for a while and im interested in ur
opinions.
Could be a great idea i think
One of the best parts is that if there is a project beginngin like that it
would as far as i know the first one with commercial attitudes and such a
big open source community in its back....
