The competition isn't the local cable co PVR, it's Tivo, Windows Media 
Center, and other good software based PVRs.  I agree that MythTV hasn't 
advanced much in reality.  It's still doing the same thing it did 9 
years ago generally except better (VDPAU and storage pools for 
example).  I'm OK with that though.  I am however disappointed by area 
like streaming to phones, laptops, transcoding, etc are still woefully 
under featured comparatively.  Also, I'm a bit unhappy that major bugs 
are taking and exceptionally long to fix, YET I am still understanding 
since we are talking about a community coded software project and I'm 
lucky to get even this amount of support.

My 1/2 cent.
