Yes, and the forum posts are interesting as well. Lots of MythTV
bashing, but nothing really constructive. This is a gem:

"I've been running MythTV for 5+ years now, and frankly, it hasn't
changed much. "

Seriously? I've been running it for much longer than that (almost 8
years) and if you can't see that it's changed, you are missing
something. Glasses perhaps.

For something truly 'old fashioned', try your local cable co's PVR offering...
