This change, while helpful, also basically means I'm starting from  
scratch. I had been focusing all my work on getting a decent, stable  
MythTV compatible video player  working on the iPhone. There's a lot  
of work towards that that will be thrown away, unfortunately. Thus, I  
doubt you'll see this come out anytime near iPhone OS 3.0. If it does,  
it will likely be only partly finished; an initial version may only  
have the ability to watch live tv or recordings without any program  
guide or scheduling support. It all depends on how quickly I can code  
things up and test them.
