When I started MythTV in 2004 I was looking for the ability to add
unlimited unencrypted storage (at a reasonable cost) and also avoiding
the monthly fee of Tivo. Also my main desktop at home is/was a linux
machine so any software / hardware that could make use of that. Now
with SD we have a fee so one of these are out.
