[mythtv-users] TV Wonder Pro

[Was A Bear]

Thats fine with me. I was pricing the PVR-250 last night and it looks 
like thats what I'm gonna do. I learned so much about MythTV setup while 
playing with the stupid TWP card that I think I can help answer some 
questions I see people asking in the archives, so I think I'll hang 
around here and see if I can help.

Thanks for the input!
