[mythtv-users] OT Any interest in HDMI --> IP TV x264 encoder boxes?

[Another Sillyname]

Guys

As the OP of the thread can I please politely request none of us give
in to our desire to argue the pros and cons of either position.

As I've clearly said I'll set up a new account and take this elsewhere
(although it may not be today now due to other commitments).

Gary was absolutely right to raise the points he did, I took issue
with the phraseology only and am sure his intent was well intentioned.

At the end of the day, to my knowledge, there's never been a dispute
on this mailing list that I remember and I've been posting her best
part of ten years.

I certainly don't want to be the reason a dispute starts.

Lets all smile and watch Gold Medals getting won instead.

Regards

Tony
