[mythtv-users] What's the point of MythTV HD?

> 4) instead of paying your cable co for a digital STB+ HD "package" +
premium channel "packages" + HD PVR with crippled hardware and software, pay
a small fraction of that to Netflix and get your premium shows & movies that
way.  I pay Commucast $14/month (4 networks in HD, plus 5 PBS channels
including PBS HD) and Netflix $20.  We'll get sent a whole season of
something on DVDs, load it into Mythvideo, watch it at our leisure, and send
the DVDs back for something else the next day.
