Hi Giovani,
I certainly don't know everything because I only recently deserted the
Vista Media Center Camp. But like the other respondents here I too
found the "How many whatever" questions meaningless & confusing and gave
up half way through. All I know is Myth seems to support all of the
mainstream stuff as long as I do certain things at setup time. Although
I suspect it does a lot more when I get my head sorted.
And I am convinced that struggling users don't play around with MythTv
for too long. Tivo and PVRs are easier.
As my wife said to me last week as I sat there cursing the boot hard
disks that had gone down, "You must be mad!"
Cheers
The GuiGuy
