| Lads - Lets stop this argument... It is pointless. I found a forum
| a while ago that covers MythTV and other recorders at
| http://pvrguide.no-ip.com It has how-to's, guides and help like
| that.
|
| If you would like to use a forum for chatting and working things
| outs then use that. If you hate forums then do not use it.
|
| but.....PLEASE...... lets stop argueing about if forums are good /
| bad / ugly etc.

Amen.
