So in addition to 3 different email lists that are either easily 
searched at goassamer-threads or with the MythTV search plugin for 
Firefox, the wiki at mythtv.org, AND the documentation at mythtv.org, 
and not too mention if people are using Knoppmyth, and Xbox frontend, a 
Hauppauge MVP and the numerous forums/mailing lists/website they all 
enable, ANOTHER site with a NEW FAQ is really the best way to do this?

Wow, no wonder no one can search the achives...they are too busy having 
to wade thru everyones 'good intentions'.

Oh, and my first post was helpful, I just didn spell it all out like I 
just did above; I had hoped people were intelligent enough to figure 
that all out.

Tom
