> Thanks for the heads up too.  How will this affect those using older versions of MythTV?  I looked at the beta installation instructions on the SD forum and they look complicated (ie, probably incompatible with older MythTV versions).  Upgrading is not a palatable option for some (many?).

What is so unpalatable about upgrading?

Seems very unfair to be demanding such long term support. Ubuntu 8.04 LTS which was released about the same time as 0.21 ended in May 2011. Frankly this is a bizarre request.

No one is asking you to run bleeding edge (0.28/pre or master). 0.27 has been out a year now already - and is not bleeding edge. Support for 0.25 ended a year ago. In my opinion it is more than unreasonable to be demanding support for 0.21.
