Yeah, and if their "guide" service includes a cost then it is just
another TiVo. My interest would be in the hardware alone I suspect,
and I need a lot more info, for example VIA makes a lot of chips,
precisely which one of them are they using ?
As I said I sent them questions. I got an automatic response from
some outfit called "Centuric", who I suspect has been contracted to
provide help desk services, probably not from California :-)
I'll see if I get more info.

And would it include some monthly charge as well ?? I don't know what
their business model is but you can bet it is not to provide Myth
hardware for cheap :-)
