Wow, i didnt realize GB was that fast, i wonder how the other PVR software
rate in speed/accuracy.

I have always thought the OSD and entire Myth interface leaves a lot to be
desired.  It pretty feature-less but it works.  I wish the OSD had a view
like TiVo (Where if timeshifting you see what portion of the program you
have).  But there are limited devs and if I had to choose between a nicer
OSD/"Prettyness" or a useful feature (ie Storage Groups or Input Groups) i
would choose the later.
