I am on 9.10 so it is going to be painfull.  Gettings a day from a) free
from the family b) when they do not want to use Myth (it is FaF not WaF
here) is a slight challenge.  So much so that I am considering buying
another Revo (R3610) to do a clean new install and port over the DB and
storage vols.

Another challengette is that my Mythbox is also the home fileserver,
webserver etc..

I do enough IT in my day job to complicate my home life :-)
