Been running Myth since 0.14

Couldn't live without it, on supported hardware it's incredibly stable
(1 reboot since march last year) and the ability to connect more
frontends is great. I have 1BE/2FE (xbox+laptop) with DVB-C and it's
impressive. 

Was initially fiddly to set up (still is, but after doing it since .14
it's a routine... DVB has to be compiled in still but that's the only
hassle.)

I am going to add another tuner card to the backend as soon as the
wallet permits and then I'm done for a while. 

I use Myth for watching DVD's, my cell phone to schedule recordings,
listen to music and view my digital photo collection with it. The
weather plugin also get a lot of use.

Love my brand new 0.19 installation that just goes and goes and goes....
Has been priceless during the Olympics.


So just do it! But stay with proven supported hardware and it'll be much
easier. You will get that "How could I ever do without it?" feeling

I take a bow to Isaac and the developers who with great effort manage to
turn out a great product with useful features and to the people on the
lists who have been more than helpful with things that go wrong.

Thank you all!
